Dave, You have ESPUL and you can use it to solve this problem. Just use the PRINT command to print the spoolfile to a disk file: > PRINT nnn;F=myfile This file will contain a print image of the file with all cctl converted to printer/pc compatible format. You can then zip or ftp or whatever you need to do with that file. Richard Corn RAC Consulting P.O.
