I copied the spool file to a physical file and then copied that
physical file to stream file with a text extension into a folder in
QDLS. Then use SNDDST with TYPE(*DOC) to send it.

Thad's suggestion will work to a point. But it will not retain
underlines, bold, spacing or pages.

If you haven't seen my SPLTOOL utility, it may be worth checking out.
Its very affordable, easy to use, and i5 native.. no extra PC needed.

It will convert to Text, PDF, HTML or RTF. This could be used to
convert to files in a folder and use SNDDST to email as an attachment.

But, I would also suggest my MAILTOOL utility. Add it to SPLTOOL and
you'll convert and email spooled files in one command.

You can find these at www.bvstools.com/spltool.html and
www.bvstools.com/mailtool.html respectivley.

As always, feel free to contact me with questions.

I second Brad's post. You can *easily* spend more time developing
this on your own than Brad's products cost.
