Spool file control characters

[bharder@nlrha.ab.ca]

These are ANSI forms control characters. The IBM documentation for the CpySplF command describes these characters in detail. For instance, a blank specifies that the printer should feed down 1 line, a zero feeds down 2 lines, a hyphen feeds down 3 lines, and a plus sign suppresses the line feed completely.

Can any anyone point me towards the meanings of the spool file control characters output to a physical file when I use the CPYSPLF command with CTLCHAR(*FCFC)? I refer to the +, -, 0 etc characters TIA

Thanks a lot guys. I'd already guessed at the meaning of the main characters, but wanted confirmation before I used them in anger. Thanks again Gary
