Re: Rebuilding a source member from a spoolfile

[Scott Klement <midrange-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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.
