Paul,

I have to do this fairly often (for some reason when people contact us for tech support and need to show their code, they like to send us printouts instead of the actual code.)

It's not usually that hard -- but I sure wouldn't try to do it screen-by screen.

As others have said, CPYSPLF can put it into a PF that you can easily download to your PC and open in an editor tool. If you need to do this frequently, you may also want to consder something like QShell's catsplf utility, which can read the spooled file and send the output to a pipe where another tool can do further processing on it.

For a one-off, though, it's pretty easy to load it into something like RDi, delete the "headings", et al, that aren't part of the actual code. Then using the RRT/LLT options (the SEU-like options in RDi) you can chop off the extra columns to the left/right of the actual code.

Lost some source code, rebuilding it from a spoolfile.
Currently doing using copy/paste, screen by screen.

Anyone know of any tricks or tips to accomplish this quicker.
