Translating Host Spool Files:
The PRTXTOPC Command
The PRTXTOPC command translates host spool files that reside on an AS/400
print queue, prior to transferring them to a PC. After the file is
translated, use the FROM3XB command (with no translation) to transfer the
print file to the PC.
Before you transfer the file to the PC, you must change the file from a
spool file to a physical file. To do this, use the AS/400 command
CPYSPLF. You can run CPYSPLF independent of the PRTXTOPC command, or
within the PRTXTOPC command.
If you run CPYSPLF independently, enter *TRANSLATE in the ACTION
parameter on the PRTXTOPC prompt screen. To run CPYSPLF within the
PRTXTOPC command, enter *COPYPRT in the ACTION parameter.
