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 |

Licenses for the modules *BASE, *SPOOL, and *SPPOL+ are required to use this command.
