Be a hell of a lot simpler to adapt my IFS Open Access handler and simply write a program to copy the file.

Specify the handler to deal with a printer file (simple to format the way you want) and away you go.

This article explains the basics and gives you the download code. http://www.ibmsystemsmag.com/ibmi/developer/rpg/Getting-a-Handle-on-RPG’s-Open-Access/ <http://www.ibmsystemsmag.com/ibmi/developer/rpg/Getting-a-Handle-on-RPG%E2%80%99s-Open-Access/>

You should switch it to being a buffer handler which would make it really fast and it is a single step not multiple "bits" to glue together. Buffer handler described here: http://www.ibmsystemsmag.com/ibmi/developer/general/oa_rpg/ <http://www.ibmsystemsmag.com/ibmi/developer/general/oa_rpg/> although the only bit you need is the buffer bits not keys etc.

Think I'll actually write this up as a tip for ITJungle because it is not the first time I have seen the requirement.

Discovered cpytoimpf alone is not enough to take a columned table and move to the ifs as a flat “fixed” file with column formatting I’m requiring.

Thanks to mark waterbury I’ll be creating a new command to do the following...

Dspfd to outfile to get record length

Create new qtemp flat file with that rcd length

Cpyf columned to qtemp flat

Then finally issue the cpytoimpf on the qtemp flat.

Thx for all the suggestions.

How about this:
CPYTOIMPF FROMFILE() TOSTMF() MBROPT() FROMCCSID() STMFCCSID(*PCASCII) RCDDLM(*CRLF) DTAFMT(*FIXED)
