Menu item 33: Copy IFS data into spool files (CPYIFS2SPL)
The CPYIFS2SPL command enables copying of IFS data of the following printer-data-stream formats into a spooled file:
*SCS (SNA-Zeichenstrom) | SNA = System Network Architecture |
*IPDS | IPDS = Intelligent Printer Data Stream |
*AFPDS (AFP-Datenstrom) | AFP = Advanced Function Presentation |
*LINE | IBM 1403 line printer data |
*AFPDSLINE | IBM 1403 data and AFPDS data combined |
*USERASCII (ASCII-Datenstrom) | User defineable data stream. e.g. a PCL datastream |
If PCL printer data streams are copied into a spooled file, it to possible to e.g. print PC printer output on Power Systems printers or convert it on the System i, e.g. into PDF files or to other target formats supported by i-effect (XLS, CSV, HTML, RTF etc.)
Licenses for the modules *BASE, *SPOOL, and *SPPOL+ are required to use this command.
