Longer than using DEVTYPE(*USERASCII) and writing the raw data that gets sent out to the printer directly from your RPG program. In that case, absolutely no translation is done (not even EBCDIC->ASCII) it's merely sent to the printer as-is. But, as you say, I can't see anything in the spooler at all.. not even the raw postscript code. I can, however, use APIs to view the data if I really want to -- it's the kind of thing that I'd do :) But, I don't really need to because I'm just copying a stream file as-is to the printer, so I can always look at the stream file to see the raw data. > Perhaps the thing to do is build a custom *WSCST... As I said in the first reply, QPWDEFAULT is actually a really good solution. Sure, you could create your own, especially if you had special transformations that you needed to do -- but I do think it's a good idea.
