In other words I don't think Monarch would handle spoolfiles that have both data and PCL(Printer Control Language) in them and maintain the formatting needed for a laser printer. Currently I use a tool call SheetMat(Hillary Software, Inc), which allows me to transfer data from spoolfiles or datafiles or database to PC in (Excel,Access,WordPerfect etc.), but the formatting is lost. Please give me your thoughts on how you think Monarch would handle this additional information. Thanks, Tracy Shepherd
