Doing a DSPFD to *print and then trying to process the output in a
program is definitely not recommended due to column changes, text
changes, text translations in other National Language Versions, etc.;
but using an *outfile should be OK.  You need to make sure that level
checking is off as IBM may add new fields to the end of existing
records, but IBM goes to great lengths to retain upward compatibility
for *outfile formats.
