Will that even work? We are talking about an Adobe Portable Document Format file, correct? In any case, there is always carriage control for a SPOOL file. If your program does not generate one (RECFM=? without a trailing A or M), the JES2 will use an ANSI carriage control character of x'40', or "print then space one line". Or maybe it uses machine control character of x'09', which is the same thing. I forget which. The only exception to the above is a program which uses a "carriage control" of x'5A', which is used for AFP (page mode) printing. I guess that I'm just confused again. I guess my brain has already gone into "vacation" mode. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer UICI Insurance Center Information Technology This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its' content is protected by law.
