The original spooled file is generated in legacy code I don't want to
touch. Copying the spoolfile afterwards as shown above works, and feels
safe :) Thanks, Justin.

Did you specify CTLCHAR() when doing the copy?
CPYSPLF FILE() CTLCHAR(*FCFC)
OVRPRTF FILE() CTLCHAR(*FCFC)


You might be able to do an OVRPRTF before the spooled file is generated.

Subject: Printing - make narrow a wide spooled file?

I have spooled files coming out of a legacy job that are 132 characters
wide at 12 CPI == 11 in.

There's really only 85 characters of data on each row.

Is there any simple way to narrow the spooled file to 102 characters at 12
CPI == 8.5 in.?

I tried copying the spooled file to a database file and then reprinting
but it loses the print formatting such as page breaks which were produced
in the original process.
