It is probably a limitation in the IBM code that is transforming the 
spooled file to a text file.  There are a lot of spooled file features 
that do not come through in this mode.  That is why we provide the option 
to create the TIFF file as that seems to always give an accurate 
representation of the file.  I wouldn't want to do it to just look at a 
joblog or compile listing, but if there is something you really need to 
see, that is your best option.

Here is the code we use to create the text file.  It is just using classes 
from the IBM Java Toolbox.  If someone wants to point out a way to make it 
work for all CCSID's, I will be glad to change it.

package com.softlanding.spooledfiles;

import java.io.*;

import com.ibm.as400.access.*;

public class SaveToTextFile implements ISaveToFile {
        public final static String PLAIN_TEXT = 
"/QSYS.LIB/QWPDEFAULT.WSCST";

        public SaveToTextFile() {
                super();
        }

        public void saveAs(SpooledFile splf, OutputStream out)
                throws

                        try {
                                PrintParameterList printParms = new 
PrintParameterList();
                                printParms.setParameter(
 PrintObject.ATTR_WORKSTATION_CUST_OBJECT,
                                        PLAIN_TEXT);
 printParms.setParameter(PrintObject.ATTR_MFGTYPE, "*WSCST");
                                // get the text (via a transformed input 
stream) from the spooled file
                                in = 
splf.getTransformedInputStream(printParms);
 
                                byte[] buffer = new byte[8 * 1024];
                                int count = 0;
                                do {
                                        out.write(buffer, 0, count);
                                        count = in.read(buffer, 0, 
buffer.length);
                                } while (count != -1);
                        } finally {
                                try {

                                                out.close();
                                        } catch (IOException e) {
                                        }
