Hello and Happy new year to you all,

I need to produce a report [spool file] that is over 350 characters wide.
That is my 1st goal.
My 2nd goal is to convert the spool into a PDF & e-Mail to an US Government
Agency.
I got a 3rd party tool that will take a spool file as input & convert to
PDF hence I may be OK & no problem on the 2nd goal.

But I cannot get thru my 1st goal namely the DDS does not allow me to print
anything beyond 255 characters width.

Here are the 2 messages I get:
* CPD7807 10 2 Message . . . . : Length and position
values cause fields to overlap.
* CPD7874 30 1 Message . . . . : Line or position value
greater than 255.

So, I do not have a way to produce a spool file far wider than 255 Chars.
This is USDA which is a bureaucratic government Agency hence they are not
accepting a CSV from us.

Is there a tool that will take a Physical File or a CSV from IFS Directory
& turn it into a Spool file ?
OR

OR
Is there another option ?
