Re: Copying an AFPDS spooled file to PF

CPYSPLF just does not support *AFPDS device type - it works with *SCS 
and *IPDS, but that won't help you here.

So one must go with SPLF APIs - Rob pointed you to one. There've also 
been a couple IBM KBs on this, but they have a warning that the method 
they describe might not work in future releases, as I recall.
