Create a Spool File from an AS/400 HTML or Text Database File

 

The following commands can be used to write an AS/400 flat database file to a spool file entry for downloading, electronic delivery or for printing via the WinSpool/400 Electronic Forms software as HTML. 

After the spool file has been written, the WinSpool/400 Electronic Forms software can automatically download and print the HTML form using the "HTF" output type.
