Although there is a CTLCHAR(*PRTCTL) for CPYSPLF to output to a [device or] database file, there is no equivalent CTLCHAR(*PRTCTL) support for opening a printer file [not a valid parameter value in either of CRTPRTF nor OVRPRTF]; there is however, *FCFC. A program specific to that purpose must be used; i.e. a program that reads the first four characters of each line of data for both a skip-before control [first three bytes] and a space-before control [fourth byte] character, and then writes the data to effect the equivalent, either with or without forms-control characters. I am not aware of any program as part of the OS to effect that.

CPYF to a print file defined with *PRTCTL. I think QGPL/QPRINT
will do.

Does anyone know of a utility that will convert a spool file that
was copied to a PF using *PRTCTL back into a spool file?
