A while back there was a thread about some proposed enhancements to the
'print' command that we were asked our opinion about (;RAW ?). I cannot
believe that someone did not suggest the addition of ';nocctl' at that time.
It sure would come in handy for this situation!!

Mark,
You're correct, the NULL CCTL value is the troublemaker. Use
EDIT/3000 to strip the CCTL column and you should be able
to email your $STDLIST using MAILX/SENDMAIL just fine. I tried
the following job, and it seemed to work without a hitch:
!job testjob,batch.control,temp;outclass=,1
!
!comment Now print the $STDLIST as it exists
!comment up to this point.
!
!print !hpspoolid.out.hpspool;out=$newpass
!editor
t $oldpass
cq 1/1,"",all
k $newpass,unn
exit
!
!comment Now email the output to me.
!xeq mailx.hpbin.sys "[log in to unmask]" < $oldpass
!
!eoj
Just remember to change the email address to protect the innocent :)

I should point out that as of 5.5pp3 the HP CI variable HPSPOOLID contains the
Onnn $STDLIST spoolid for the current job. Thus it's easy for me to get
the complete $STDLIST filename as either !HPSPOOLID.OUT.HPSPOOL or
/HPSPOOL/OUT/!HPSPOOLID.
The hard part becomes actually reading the file. It doesn't look like the
POSIX bytestream emulator likes open spoolfiles (various weird stuff happens
depending whether you are using CIOR to override $STDIN, sh < to override
POSIX stdin, or specifying the HFS filename to a POSIX program). The
best I have so far is:
!job ...
!print !hpspoolid.out.hpspool;out=$newpass
!xeq mailx.hpbin.sys "[log in to unmask]" <$oldpass
Which sort of works, except for the non-printable CCTL characters in the
first few lines of $STDLIST which are either confusing the bytestream
emulator or are just annoying mailx which drops those particular lines from
the e-mail it sends.
Anyway, keep your suggestions coming. I may have to modify the above example
to delete the CCTL character in the first byte of every line....
