No, the files will be different - your file, permfile, only has 32 bytes
(you file EQ makes it so).

Have a great weekend.

Subject: [HP3000-L] Thursday quiz (spool files)

Start with a simple program that generates a 132-column, fixed length
report.
Run it with output to a spool file, like:

file rptfile; dev=lp,1
run progname

Then run it with output to a permanent cctl file, like:

file  rptfile = permfile, new; dev=disc; cctl; save &
  ; rec=,32,f,ascii; disc=60000,32,0
run progname

Finally send the perm file to a spool file, like:

file newspool; dev=lp,1; cctl
print  permfile > *newspool

Questions
1: Are the two spoolfiles identical ?
2: What about the printouts ?
