The implementation of this activity uses the IBM i CPYSPLF command.  Some spooled files, for example spooled files that contain only advanced function printing data stream (AFPDS) data cannot be processed by the CPYSPLF command.  Refer to IBM i documentation of the CPYSPLF command for more information.

INPUT Parameters:

DOCPATH: Required

This parameter specifies the path and file name for the text document that will be generated by this activity.  If the specified file already exists, its contents will be replaced.

JOBNAME: Required

This parameter specifies the name of the job that owns the spool file from which the text document is to be created.

JOBUSER: Required

This parameter specifies the user profile name of the job that owns the spool file from which the text document is to be created.

JOBNUMBER: Required

This parameter specifies the job number of the job that owns the spool file from which the text document is to be created.

SPLFNAME: Required

This parameter specifies the name of the spool file from which the text document is to be created.

SPLFNUMBER: Optional

This parameter specifies the number of the spool file from which the text document is to be created.  It is required only if there is more than one spool file of the name specified by the SPLFNAME parameter for the job specified.  If not specified, a default special value of *ONLY is used.  You may specify special values *ONLY or *LAST.  Otherwise specify the number of the job's spooled file that is to be converted.

DOCCCSID: Optional

This parameter allows you to specify the IBM i CCSID with which the output text document is created.

...

NOTE:  the assumed or explicit CCSID is applied only when the specified output file does NOT already exist.  If the specified output file already exists and is being replaced or appended-to by this activity, then its CCSID will not be changed.

FORMAT: Optional

This parameter allows you to choose the format that is applied to the spooled file data when it is written to the text document.  You may specify one value from each of the following three groups (each value should be separated by at least one space):

...

Specify *CONDENSEBLANKLINES to have only the first in each group of consecutive blank lines written to the text document.  Again, this option does not change the generated page and line number values written for the non-blank lines (that is to say, the blank lines are still counted for this purpose).

OUTPUT Parameters:

There are no output parameters.
