Re: Re[2]: File PC to a AS/400 spool file????

[Scott Klement <klemscot@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well... if you think about it, when you're creating a printout with
a program-described file, you're opening the file and writing records
of data to it.  The records end up getting printed to the spool.

Why is this?  because OS/400 knows its a printer file, and that the
expected behavior on a Print File is to write the data to a spool.

So, likewise when the FTP server program is receiving data from your 
PC (or another AS/400 or whatever) it'll open up the printer file,
write the data to it, and close it... just like any other file on the
system.  OS/400 knows that data written to a print file should go to
the spool, so thats what it does.

Make sense?
