Re: Splf generated as IPDS when it should be SCS

[Vern Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Some things (text) in IPDS can be copied - not the graphic stuff. We had 
a customer who had a signature in an IPDS spooled file - that got lost 
when doing the copy but the rest showed up. Formatting with graphical 
elements would not, of course.

At least that's my recollection - and why I said try it and see if you 
get anything useful. IBM has the article recreating a spooled file with 
CPYSPLF, and there they have the following -

"however, this does not work on *AFPDS or *USERASCII spooled files and 
may not work on *IPDS spooled files"

It's not a slammed door for IPDS, but chances are something will not be 
copied the way you want.
