RE: creating a pdf in RPG

[David Strawn <dstrawn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Don't want to do it from a spoolfile (we are trying to eliminate them), but directly from RPG...

If you want to convert a spool file to PDF

CPYSPLF    FILE(MYSPOOLFILE) TOFILE(*TOSTMF) +
               SPLNBR(*LAST) +
               TOSTMF('/MyFolder/MYPDFFILE.pdf') WSCST(*PDF) +
               STMFOPT(*REPLACE)

be aware that  WSCST(*PDF)  keyword is important.
