Various options/solutions were posted to the HP3000-L many many years ago.
We used the Openseas tools because we were, at the time, a Fantasia customer and so already had these utilities to hand.
Interestingly openpdf was simply ported version (to MPE) of a unix application (pcl2pdf). And we still use pcl2pdf on our HPUX servers.

Tony,
OK, I like your idea of converting a spoolfile to a PDF.
Are there any free utilities that do that? Possibly in the CSL?

Ok , alternative from a very rusty memory is SUBSET 0,2000, but I think that deals with extracting by record number rather than what you’re after ! .
I did once write a COBOL program to read spoolfiles to manually stitch them together – may still have that lurking in an archive if it helps.
The only other idea that comes to mind (without dropping into posix shell) would be some third party tool. SPOOLPDF was a program we used from Openseas to convert spoolfiles into raw PCL. A second program (OPENPDF) subsequently converted the PCL to a PDF document.

Hah... you’re a funny guy.
Strangely enough FCOPY's NOCCTL has nothing to do with stripping. It is more of a definition.
Is the CCTL data or CCTL?

Subject: [HP3000-L] stripping CCTL from spoolfiles
The list has been quiet lately. I have an on topic question.
Apart from going into QEDIT (sadly they do not have) and deleting the first column.
How can I strip out the Carriage Control from a spool file?
Thanks,
-Craig
