SPLTOOL
v4.01b - This beta version is an updated version with the same
functionality of PRTRNG. The most major improvement is
the ablility to submit any of the processes which PRTRNG
performed.
v4.02b - Allow selection of job queue to submit job.
v4.03 - Added storage of default values by user. Default values
include Batch(Y/N), Default OUTQ, Default JOBQ, Default
Folder, and Default PC Extention (for SPL2FLR).
Fixed problem when sending a document to an extended folder
name.
v5.01 - Added the ability to store a spooled file to anywhere on the
IFS. The new option is option 8 (Copy to Stream File). This
option will ask you for a file name (which can be formatted
the same as a W95 file name) and a directory in which to place
the spooled file.
v5.02 - Added parameters for the Print Range option of HOLD and SAVE.
These parameters can be set up in the defaults screen for each
user, and can also be changed when performing the Print Range
option. The valid values for HOLD and SAVE are *YES, *NO and
*SAME. *SAME means that the same values from the original
spooled file will be used when creating the new spooled file.
v6.00 - Removed the need to register for full working version.
v6.10 - Added ability to send spooled files via FTP. Prior knowledge
of FTP is a prerequisite.
Reorganized defaults screen. Each seperate option is now
separated so that organization of defaults is easier.
v6.12 - Combined service packs ST032299, ST040299 and ST040999. These
service packs added options to run commands in batch without
using the SPLTOOL interface. The new commands are:
SPL2FTPB - Spooled File to FTP (Batch)
SPL2STMFB - Spooled File to Stream File (Batch)
SPL2FLRB - Spooled File to Shared Folder (Batch)
Added option to place a Title on an HTML document when using
the .htm or .html extension and copying with FTP, to the IFS
or a shared Folder
Fixed problem when copying to a .doc file. The last line of
every page was shifted to the right.
v6.13 - Added user options very similar to PDM's user options.
v6.14 - Added the command Spooled File Tools Configuration
(SPLTOOLCFG). This command will allow you to limit all
options, most function keys, and user and output queue
parameters in the SPLTOOL display. Issue the
command SPLTOOLCFG and change options listed for certain
users. Change the *DFT user to specify options for users
that are not listed in the file. New users can be added by
typing the user name to add in the blank line, which is the
last entry in the list.
**Note**
If you previously used the command parameter Restrict User
(RSTUSR), this option is no longer supported as this
restriction can be added with the SPLTOOLCFG command.
v6.15 - Various fixes and updates.
There have been reported problems with Batch downloads,
especially to a folder. The problem was that there are only
eight characters to fill and to make this unique was not easy.
I have since added the following naming scheme for batch
spooled file downloads, as well as the default when performing
these interactivley:
Folder: S + Last 4 of Job# + Last 3 of Spooled File #
Stream File: Job + Job# + Spooled File #
FTP: Job + Job# + Spooled File #
v6.16b - Version 6.16b (beta). This version adds new parameters to the
folder, Stream file, and FTP commands. Because of the amount
of changes made, this is a beta version. Please report any
problems.
New Parameters:
SPL2FLR - Spooled File To Folder
Translation Table - Enter the translation table and library
for the translation table to use for the copy to PC
document command.
SPL2STMF - Spooled File to Stream File
Translation Table - Enter the translation table and library
for the translation table to use for the copy to stream
file command.
Code Page - Enter the code page to use for the copy to
stream file command. This can be left (for US users)
at 437 which also works with HTML files.
SPL2FTP - Spooled File to FTP
FTPRep - Enter the FTP Representation to use for the
FTP command. This is a command such as ASCII or BIN.
v6.17 - This new version adds a new parameter to the SPL2FTPB and
SPL2STMFB batch commands. The new parameter is File Name
Prefix (NAMPFX). Specifying other than *JOB (the default)
will name the spooled files starting with this parameter.
This prefix can be up to 20 characters. The rest of the file
name will be the job number followed by the spooled file
number.
I also fixed the FTP and Stream file commands in SPLTOOL and
in the batch commands so that the ending "/" is not needed.
If it is not included, it will be added automatically.
v6.18 - Changed the way the batch FTP is processed. Instead of
signing on to the remote machine and sending one file, and
repeating, all spooled files are copied to a temp file and
then they are all sent at once. This should dramatically
improve peformance using the SPL2FTPB command.
v7.00 - Changed the Spooled File Number parameter from character to
numeric on the SPL2FTP, SPL2FLR, SPL2STMF, SPL2PF, and
PRTRNG commands. This is because some people were having
troubles with this.
Added extra error checking to avoid hard halts. If something
doesn't seem to be working, always check the job log for
clues. If needbe, you can email me your job log and I
can help as well.
Various updates. Added registration requirement for
spooled files of 30 pages.
v7.01 - Added spooled file name to the batch commands (SPL2FTPB,
SPL2FLRB, and SPL2STMFB). If you have any applications that
use these commands, you will have to update them. This
parmeter can be *ALL, generic*, or a name.
Fixed problem with SPL2FTPB command. When using this command,
the only or the last (if multiple spooled files were
downloaded) would contain duplicate data.
Fixed another possible problem with SPL2FTPB. If library
QTEMP was not in your library list, this command would error
out on multiple spooled file downloads.
v7.02 - Updated SPLTOOL FTP option to build input and output FTP
command files in QTEMP instead of the SPLTOOL library.
This increases security and allows multiple instances of
the FTP option to be run.
v7.03 - Fixed bug on display. The user name and number headings
were reversed on the SPL2STMF display.
Added new options to the batch commands (SPL2FLRB, SPL2STMFB,
and SPL2FTPB). There are two new parameters. The first is
Only File Name. You can specify *YES on this parameter to
tell SPLTOOL that you wish to specify the file name of the
target file. The next parameter is File Name. On this
parameter, you can specify a file name for the target file.
Special values *JOB, *USER, and *FILE can be used to name the
target file accordingly.
v7.10b - Added new command, Spooled File to E-Mail (SPL2EMAIL). This
option must be downloaded and installed seperately from
SPLTOOL because it requires a minimum of V4R3 of the OS.
Added special values *ONLY and *LAST to SPLNBR parameter and
special value of * (current job) for JOB parameter on
SPL2FLR, SPL2STMF, SPL2FTP, and SPL2EMAIL commands.
Added *FIRST special value to from page parameter and *LAST
special value to to page parameter.
Added code to produce a PDF document when the PDF extension
is used in the SPL2FLR, SPL2STMF, SPL2FTP, or SPL2EMAIL
commands. I suggest not using translation table QASCII
when copying to PDF. Use table Q037337850 instead.
Because so many changes were made to this version, it is
labeled "b" for beta. Please reports any bugs you find to
me. Thanks!
v7.12b - Updated PDF option. Added more error checking in programs.
Fixed problem with line selections. Fixed problem with
changing defaults for a user was not picking up the
*DFT user options.
v7.20b - Changed screen in SPLTOOL for SPL2EMAIL option
to use command (because of multiple "to" addresses).
Added default "from address" from SMTP system table if
not in SPLTOOL defaults or from address is blank.
Added *FIRST and *LAST to all commands for From and To Pages.
If the PDF option is used, change CCSID to 37 if it's not
before running process, then change it back.
Added F21 Command line interface. This defaults to N, so
most users won't get it. Also, the command key description
will not appear in the function key list even if it is
enabled.
Added *ONLY and *LAST as parms for spooled file number for
the PRTRNG command. * for Job is also available.
PDF creation parameters are now controlled by the file
SPLPDFPF. The command SPLPDFCFG will allow you to enter
PDF creation parameters for the original spooled file
page width, length, lpi, and cpi. Values entered for PDF
are width, length, top starting postion, left starting
position, spacing, and font size. Most of the defaults
from the previous version are already set up, but you may
need to add entries for your reports.
v7.21b - Added file name to filtering critera on SPLTOOL command.
Added from and to email addresses to SPLLOGPF file. Only
the first "To" email address will be logged in this file if
multiple to email addresses are used. This change requires
you download and install v1.12 of SPL2EMAIL.
Made filename paramter 150 characters (from 50) for SPL2STMF
and SPL2FTP commands.
v7.22 - Change CRTPF commands to specify *NO because some people had
the command default at *YES.
Added use for wildcards on user id, user date,
file name, and form type on SPLTOOL command and SPLTOOL
main display.
Change length of user id and password on FTP commands from
30 to 64. If using the FTP command from the SPLTOOL
interface, the display is still 30 characters. If you need
this updated as well, just let me know.
Add option to not include blank pages on Stream File, Folder,
FTP, and Email commands. This was because some reporting
systems would produce blank pages between pages when they
weren't supposed to. This command paramter will not show up
if using the SPLTOOL interface (except on the Email Command)
so you much change the command default to the option you
want.
v7.23 - Removed processing that changes the job CCSID to 37 if it
was not 37 for PDF files. If your AS/400 does not run
with a default CCSID of 37 (non-US mainly) please double
check PDF creation.
Fixed bug in SPL2FTP command. If target directory was left
blank the send would fail.
Fixed bug when putting spooled files to HTML. If printed a
blank sheet would print as the last page.
Added *ADD as an option for the RPLF option on SPL2STMF and
SPL2STMFB commands. This new option will append the file
to an existing stream file.
Added new user option parameters. &R is user data, &A is
creation date (CYYMMDD), and &E is creation time (HHMMSS).
Made cursor sticky on SPLTOOL screen. Right now this option
only works if one spooled file is selected.
Fixed bug in SPLTOOL program where F12=Cancel would save
changes when changing SPLTOOL defaults.
Added User Data to be specified as the file prefix or file
name on SPL2FTPB and SPL2STMFB commands. Use special
value *USRDTA.
v7.30 - Added date range parameters to Batch commands (SPL2FTPB,
SPL2FLRB, and SPL2STMFB). Added more error checking.
v7.31 - Added RTF and updated HTML format. Both of these formats
now support bold and underline. If you find any problems,
please contact me.
Made SPLTOOL display more "sticky". Stays on same page after
deleting spooled files.
v7.32 - Updated internal processing to speed up consecutive commands
(copy to folder, ifs, email, ftp or print range, pf) faster
if copying the same spooled file more than once consecutively.
If you are using SPL2EMAIL you must upgrade to v1.18.
v7.33 - Added List Spooled File Attributes (SPLATT) command.
This release contains all service packs through st031202.
v8.00 - Consolodated the SPL2EMAIL commands into the SPLTOOL library.
You will need MAILTOOL v3.00 or higher installed when
using v8.00 of SPLTOOL or higher and wish to use the
SPL2EMAIL or SPL2EMAILB commands. You also will no longer
need to download and install the SPL2EMAIL product
seperately.
v8.01 - Added ability to work with all user defaults from the
SPLTOOLCFG command.
All previous service pack fixes for version 8.00 are
applied to this version.
v8.02 - Updated to work with MAILTOOL v3.02 and higher that allow a
maximum of 50 attachments instead of 20.
Updated the Stream File, Folder, and FTP commands so that
the special value &U can be used in the directory or folder
path. This value will be replaced with the current user's
name. This value can be used in the defaults, in the
SPLTOOL interface, or on the SPL2FLR, SPL2STMF, or
SPL2FTP commands. If you are using this value alone on
a command it must be enclosed in apostrophes (ie '&U').
v8.03 - (v8.02 SP) Added *USERD as option for filename when specifying only file *YES
on SPL2EMAILB command. This will cause the user data portion of the
spooled file to be the file name.
(v8.02 SP) Added OBJAUT and DTAAUT parameters to the SPL2STMF and SPL2STMFB
commands. These are used when CRTDIR(*YES) is specified and allows you
to set the public authority to the newly created directory.
(v8.02 SP) Added the option to include ending blank lines in a page or not. The
default is to leave them in. If you do not want trailing blank lines
in a page then use the following command:
CRTDTAARA DTAARA(QGPL/SPLINCBLNK) TYPE(*CHAR) VALUE(N)
(v8.02 SP) Added ability to name files using substitution variabls on the
SPL2FTPB command. The following substitution variables are supported:
&F - File Name
&J - Job Name
&N - Job Number
&U - User ID
&S - Spooled File Number
&R - User Data
These variables may be used in the PC extension (EXT) parameter and if
Only file name (ONLYF) is specified as *YES then you can use these
variables to name the file on the File name (FNAME) parameter.
(v8.02 SP) Added ability to name files using substitution variabls on the
SPL2STMFB command. The following substitution variables are supported:
&F - File Name
&J - Job Name
&N - Job Number
&U - User ID
&S - Spooled File Number
&R - User Data
These variables may be used in the PC extension (EXT) parameter and if
Only file name (ONLYF) is specified as *YES then you can use these
variables to name the file on the File name (FNAME) parameter.
Updated processing of backslash character. Mainly for
functionality of non-US customers.
v8.04 - NOTE: If you also are using MAILTOOL or AFPTOOL you will require
at least the versions listed here with this version of SPLTOOL:
MAILTOOL v3.21 or higher
AFPTOOL v2.04 or higher
To find versions of software you are using, see the instructions at
http://www.bvstools.com/faq.html.
(v8.03 SP) Added options for DBCS when creating temp files.

spooled file from the SPLTOOL display interface if the AFPTOOL command
is installed and in your library list.
(v8.03 SP) AFP type spooled files will apear with a pink filename in the list of
available spooled files.
Options 1, 2, 7, 9 and 11 were disabled for AFP type spooled files.
(v8.03 SP) AFP Spooled files will also be handled by the AFPTOOL command when
using the SPL2EMAIL or SPL2EMAILB commands.
Added the following parameters to SPL2EMAIL and SPL2EMAILB to
be compatible with MAILTOOL:
Importance (IMP)
MDN Address (MDNADDR)
MDN Name (MDNNAME)
Recipient Separator (RECSEP)
Debug (DEBUG)
Added the following parameters to SPL2EMAIL and SPL2EMAILB to
be compatible with AFPTOOL:

v8.05 - (v8.04 SP) Update application to accept more lines when creating a PDF file.
(v8.04 SP) Small bug in SPL2EMAIL and SPL2EMAILB commands that always requested
a read receipt. Fixed commands.
Updated application to look specifically at the spooled file to see if it is DBCS or not.
Previously the system value QIGC was looked at to determine if DBCS data was present.
New version checks both the system value and the spooled file attributes. If either is
marked for DBCS, then SPLTOOL will treat the spooled file as DBCS.
v8.06 - Added reply to addresses and reply to name parameter. NOTE: You will need
MAILTOOL v3.25 or newer for this functionality!
Added Debug File parameter. This allows you to name the debug file. Again, you will
need MAILTOOL v3.28 or newer for this functionality!
v8.10 - **NOTE**
Updated registration to use Serial Number and Model number.
Removed 30 page limit from unregistered version. Instead, temporary keys will be
issued to allow unlimited testing for a period of time.
-- Current Users --
Email me a note with your serial number(s) and model number(s) before you
install this version so I can get you a new key.
-- New Users --
Email me and I will get you a temporary key. This temporary key will allow you
to use SPLTOOL with all functionality for a limited period of time. You
need a temporary key or a permanent key to use SPLTOOL.
Fixed bug with SPLTOOL Interface when first entering with an invalid output queue.
(v8.06 SP) Added the ability to send extra attachments along with the
SPL2EMAIL or SPL2EMAILB commands. This is done by entering the
full qualified path of the IFS file(s) to attach in the
Extra Attachment (XATTACH) parameter on either the SPL2EMAIL
or SPL2EMAILB commands.
Keep in mind that the maximum attachments, including
spooled file attachments is 50.
(v8.06 SP) Bug with SPL2EMAIL command that would truncate messages longer
than 1024 characters. Updated application to be sure the full
4096 characters were included in message.
(v8.06 SP) Added ability to use substitution characters in the filename
and/or extension for SPL2EMAILB command when specifying ONLYFILE(*YES).

&R - User Data
(v8.06 SP) Fixed bug when converting spooled file to HTML
v8.11 - Updated commands and applications to accept 6 digit spooled file number.
v8.12 - (v8.11 SP) Added date range display option to SPLTOOL interface. Use the
F10 key to display a subset selection window. In this window
you can subset the display including a beginning and ending
creation date. If either date is zero that particular date
(either the start or end dat) will not be used for selection
criteria. So if you wanted to view all spooled files starting
with those in 2004, you could enter 01012004 for the start date
and leave the end date blank.
Updated SPLTOOL interface to perform better. Changed APIs that were used.
Added F13=Repeat to the SPLTOOL interface. This will be used to repeat options
in the subfile similar to PDM.
Updated SPLTOOL command so that the default for the OUTQ parameter is *LAST. This
will allow you to use the last outq you viewed when in SPLTOOL.
v8.13 - (v8.12 SP) Changed format option on spooled file API to try and
increase performance of SPLTOOL interface.
Fixed bug in temporary registration key processing. Would give invalid dates for
machines running with non MMDDYYYY date formats.
v8.20 - (v8.13 SP) Fixed bug in SPLTOOL interface. Refresh wouldn't work if
display was currently listing no spooled files.
Fixed SPLTOOL display so function keys are the same when there are spooled
files in the list and when the list is empty.
Added MAILTOOL Plus! parameters to SPL2EMAIL and SPL2EMAILB commands. You
will need to make sure you have at least MAILTOOL v4.02 installed for
compatibility reasons.
v8.21 - (v8.20 SP) Fixed bug in SPL2EMAIL command. Wasn't selecting lines to
omit correctly unless it lines started at the first line.
This problem mainly occured using option 11 from the SPLTOOL
interface.
Added functionality to SPL2STMF, SPL2STMFB, SPL2FTP and SPL2FTPB commands
to recognize if a spooled file is AFPDS. If so, it will use the AFPTOOL
command to perform the conversion. This means AFPTOOL must be installed
and in the library list. This functionality already exists for the
SPL2EMAIL and SPL2EMAILB commands.
v8.22 - Added functionality for SENDWITH parameters for AFPDS spooled files when
sending with SPL2EMAIL or SPL2EMAILB. Previously only SCS spooled files
recognized these parameters.
v8.30 - (v8.22 SP) Fixed processing for page ranges. When selecting page ranges
it would always process entire spooled file.
(v8.22 SP) Updated so that it would stop processing after it reached the
last specified page.
(v8.22 SP) Fixed bug with DBCS spooled files adding a blank character to
the first
column of every line.
(v8.22 SP) Fixed bug with DBCS spooled files adding a blank character to
the first column of every line using the PRTRNG command.
(v8.22 SP) Updated so the max number of pages that can be converted to
PDF is no longer 3000 pages, but around 10,000 pages.
Updated processing to speed up the conversion time dramatically.
With this update the Translation Table (TRNTBL) parameters have been
removed from the commands and the Stream File code Page (STMFCODPG) will
be used for EBCDIC to ASCII conversions which means that special tables
(especially for non-US code pages) will no longer be needed and conversions
should be much more accurate.
Added more error checking in commands for SCS and AFPDS spooled files.
v8.40 - (V8.30 SP) Fixed small bug when using the .doc extension. File was corrupt.
Removed TRNTBL parms from calls to SPLTOOL commands from the SPLTOOL
interface.
Added capability to merge multiple spooled files into one document. This
can be done using the "batch" commands and specifying MERGE(*YES) or
using the single commands using the proper sequence. See online
documentation for more details.
Added &C as replacement variable in the SPLTOOL interface. This variable
will use the current user id instead of the user id attached to the
spooled file.
Updated protection on subset window. If output queue or user id were
set to be protected, also protected them here.
Added protection for the F10 key in the SPLTOOLCFG command.
v8.41 - (v8.40 SP) Fixed bug when using SPLTOOL commands and specifying a negative margin
values for AFPDS spooled files.
(v8.40 SP) Fixed bug with SPLTOOLCFG command. Display would error out with more than
10 records displayed on certain systems.
(v8.40 SP) Changed SPL2FTP and SPL2FTPB commands to hide password from the command display.
(v8.40 SP) Fixed small bug when creating TXT file the last column would be truncated in
certain cases.
(v8.40 SP) Fixed bug in SPLTOOL interface using option 2 (SPL2FLR). If a sub-folder was

didn't always come through on PDF.
(v8.40 SP) Fixed issue when creating PDFs from spooled files that didn't use the UNDERLINE
keyword but did underline data
Added more replacement variables to the SPL2EMAILB, SPL2FTPB and SPL2STMFB
commands. New values are as follows:
&CY = Current year
&CM = Current month
&CD = Current day
&PY = Spooled file year
&PM = Spooled file month
&PD = Spooled file day
v8.50 - (v8.41 SP) Updated PDF version from 1.0 to 1.1 for compatibility with other
readers such as the Blackberry.
(v8.41 SP) Fixed bug when using option 9 (FTP) option from SPLTOOL interface.
When batch default was set to Y, program would error.
(v8.41 SP) Added ability back to select lines to omit when using the copy to folder,
stream file, FTP or email options from the SPLTOOL interface. To use the
selection feature simply enter the option followed by the letter "S".
(v8.41 SP) Fixed bugs in batch commands when an invalid output queue was specified.
(v8.41 SP) Cleaned up commmands on the SPLTOOL interface so if values were blank
empty quotes would not be placed in the fields.
(v8.41 SP) Changed method of using special characters from using the SPLCTLPF file to
converting them to the CCSID of the job that is running.
(v8.41 SP) Fixed bug when using long filenames and emailing AFPDS spooled files.
Changed PDF creation to remove any page limit. In previous versions this limit
was around 10,000 pages. Now, the only limit is with the amount of storage
available. So please be careful!
v8.51 - (v8.50 SP) Fixed bug when using copy to folder option that cased application
to fail.
v9.00 - (v8.51 SP) Updated SPL2EMAIL, SPL2STMF, SPL2FLR and SPL2FTP commands to
throw a CPF message if the spooled file wasn't found on the
system or there was an error retrieving the spooled file
attributes so MONMSG can be used to trap errors.
(v8.51 SP) Fixed bug when merging more than 50 spooled files. Program
would error out and not send email. (S2E001RG)
(v8.51 SP) Changed DIR parameter in SPL2STMF to 256 characters (from 63)
(v8.51 SP) Changed SPL2FTP and SPL2FTPB commands so the user can specify
*USRDFT for IP address, user id, password and directory. When
this special value is used the defaults from SPLTOOL interface
will be used.
Registration updates.
v9.01 - Registration fix. If you aquired keys for v9.00 of SPLTOOL, please contact
us for new keys for this version.
v9.02 - (v9.01 SP) Updated SPL2STMF, SPL2FTP and SPL2EMAIL to allow the TIFF
extension for *AFPDS spooled files instead of just PDF.
Previously would give an error saying "Extension not allowed".
(v9.01 SP) Updated SPL2EMAIL command so you could specify *XATT for the
message body and have the first extra attachment listed as the
body of the message while still having the converted spooled
file as an attachment.
Updated SPL2EMAIL and SPL2EMAILB commands to allow new parms used with
MAILTOOL v6.04 and up. These parms are SENDNAME, SENDADDR, MXLOOKUP,
AUTHUSER and AUTHPW. MAILTOOL v6.04 or higher is REQUIRED if you are
using the SPL2EMAIL or SPL2EMAILB commands.
v9.03 - (v9.02 SP) Update SPL2EMAIL and SPL2FTP commands to throw "catchable"
errors if the spooled file was not found.
(v9.02 SP) Update to SPL2FTP command to check for errors transferring
files. Should the number of files converted not equal the
number of successful file transfers an error is thrown.
(v9.02 SP) Added replacment variable &T for Form Type to SPL2EMAILB
command.
(v9.02 SP) Updated SPL2STMFB command so file name could be a max of 150
characters instead of 63.
(v9.02 SP) Updated SPLATT command to capture the spooled file size (in KB)
Added FOOTER parameters to SPL2EMAIL and SPL2EMAILB commands to be
compatible with MAILTOOL v6.07 and higher
Downloads previous to 4/23/2008 were missing S2FB01RG object. This
version contains this object.
v9.10 - (v9.03 SP) Using REPLACE(*ADD) wasn't adding to current files.
Updated application to make sure this functioned as before.
Added PDF Encryption/Password protection. When creating a PDF
file using SPLTOOL use the PDF PAssword (PDFPASS) to specify a
password to be added to the PDF file that is created.
v9.20 - (v9.10 SP) Fixed bug in SPL2FLR command where it would throw an error
saying the number of parms doesn't match on the call to
S2X001CL
(v9.10 SP) SPL2FTPB command was giving errors saying more spooled files
were sent than were really sent when the text "226" was
somewhere else in the FTP Log file (like in Bytes Sent).
Changed the check to check only the first 3 bytes of the
log file for 226 for a successful send.
Added PDF Overlay (OVERLAY) paramater to SPL2STMF, SPL2STMFB,
SPL2EMAIL, SPL2EMAILB, SPL2FTP and SPL2FTPB commands. This new
parameter allows you to specify a PDF file that resides in the IFS
that will be overlayed on top of the PDF created by SPLTOOL. This
can be used for report design, adding letterheads, etc.
Added object SPLTOOLV type *DTAARA that now holds the SPLTOOL
version.
v9.30 - (v9.20 SP) Fixed bug with SPL2EMAILB command when merging multiple spooled
files. Was throwing an array index error.
Updated overlay processing (PDFBox to iText change).
v9.31 - (v9.30 SP) Fixed bug with PDF generation when underlining command came
before a new text line it would possibly bold letters before
underline was done.
(v9.30 SP) Found bug when using a password on PDF of greater than 25
characters caused Java Shell screen to be displayed. Fixed.
Updated PDF version from 1.1 to 1.4.
v9.40 (v9.31 SP) Bug using SPL2EMAIL and converting AFPDS spooled files
to TIFF would error out. Fixed.
Added new parm to SPL2STMF, SPL2STMFB, SPL2EMAIL, SPL2EMAILB,
SPL2FTP, and SPL2FTPB. This new parm is PDFCONCAT and allows you
to specify the path to a PDF file in the IFS to concatenate to the
end of the PDF(s) created by these commands.
v9.41 (v9.40 SP) Fixed issue in SPLTOOL commands when concating PDFs and
the command failed the first time, when it tried again it
ran the wrong application.
(v9.40 SP) Added new command named PDFCAT which will allow users to
manually concatenate PDF files onto other PDF files.
(v9.40 SP) Bug when sending emails and using auth user parm and this
value had a special character in it. Fixed.
(v9.40 SP) Added FROM and TO dates to SPL2EMAILB command.
Bug in the PDF Overlay functionality where a class not found error
would occur, fixed.
v9.42 - Bug in PDF Overlay from previous versions. Updated JARs and fixed.
v9.50 - (v9.42 SP) Fixed problem when using overlay and filename contains special
characters. This would leave the file with a .tmp extension in
the directory instead of renaming it.
(v9.42 SP) Added command PDFOVLY which allows you to add an overlay to
an existing PDF file in the IFS.
(v9.42 SP) Updated overlay, concat, and pdf password programs to use JNI
interface instead of RUNJVA for a performance increase.
Updated all commands to include the use of system name, creation date,
and creation time for spooled file selection. These values should
default to *ONLY and shouldn't cause any issues with existing
applications not making use of these parameters.
This update was needed if there are duplicate spooled files on the
system such as saving and restoring spooled files using BRMS.
v9.51 - Updated java apps required for adding passwords and concatonating PDF files
that were causing some errors on JDK v1.5 machines.
v9.60 - (v9.51 SP) Fixed classpath issues with PDFCAT and PDFOVLY commands.
Updated merging process so that AFPDS spooled files converted to PDF
can be merged as well. With merging there is a limit now that ONLY
PDF files can be merged. There were issues with merging the other
formats. Also, each spooled file now creates it's own PDF and can
have it's own attributes (ie different sizes, layouts, etc).
Updated all password type parameters to be hidden in the job log. Keep
in mind that using F9 to bring back the command will mean you will
need to re-enter any password (such as a PDF password, FTP password, etc)
Added SSL and PORT parameters to SPL2EMAIL and SPL2EMAILB for MAILTOOL
Plus Compatibilty
Removed merging from SPL2FLR and SPL2FLRB commands. These commands will
eventually be removed from the SPLTOOL package. If you are using them
please plan on changing to use the SPL2STMF and SPL2STMFB commands instead.
Support for the QDLS file system for SPLTOOL will be elimitated.
v9.61 - (v9.60 SP) Fixed date issues when JOB date is different than MDY.
Added the new parmameter PDFFONT to the SPLTOOL commands to allow the user
to select *COURIER (default), *TIMES (Times New Roman), or
*HELV (Helvetica) as the font used when *SCS spooled files are converted
to PDF. Keep in mind all fonts except for Courier are proportional and
will not align columns as expected when converting spooled file reports.
v9.62 - Fixed bug when using SPL2EMAILB or SPL2FTPB. Was giving error
saying it couldn't find the file to convert.
Bug when using SPL2EMAIL with AFPDS spooled file and email
server required authentication. Would crash with error
on MAILTOOL command.
Updated commands so that the OVERLAY parameter default could
be changed by the user.
Updated application to use different APIs for CLASSPATH
environment variables so that the HTTP Server is not
required.
Added debugging to the overlay process. If there is an error
that isn't trapped by the system (JNI) it will output that
error to /tmp/bvstoolslog.txt file.
When using SPL2FLR following message was given:
"PDF file *YES does not exist. Concat ignored."
fixed.
SP111031 - Found that converting certain characters (like the degree
symbol) the program was corrupting these. Updated to fix.
SP111102 - Updated SPLTOOL interface and commands to allow the entry of
mixed case user data field.
v9.63 - Added option to tell software to put PDF overlay on the top or bottom
of the PDF created using the SPLTOOL commands or PDFOVLY command.
The default was bottom and still remains the default.
SP111222 - When converting and emailing an AFPDS spooled file and specifying
a footer for the email, it would not work as it did on SCS spooled
files. Fixed.
SP120417 - Updated "Batch" applications so that when they create a user space
that user space will be auto-extended in size up to the max size.
SP120504 - Updated SPL2STMFB and SPL2FTPB to use the &T replacement value.
SP120521 - Fixed batch commands. Since changing user data to upper/lower case
if the value *all was used, it wouldn't be treated as *ALL.
v9.64 - Added to the SPLTOOL interface defaults a default overlay. When using options
from the SPLTOOL interface this will be used to automatically fill in the
overlay parameter.
Added the option to set up PDF configuration entires based on user ID. When
using the SPLPDFCFG command there is now a user id field. Press F10 will
enable you to use this field. Any entries added with a user ID will need
to match the spooled file attributes (Length, Width, LPI and CPI) exactly
for it to take affect.
SP121102 - Added option to use the value *USRDFT for the overlay parameter
on SPL2EMAIL, SPL2EMAILB, SPL2STMF, SPL2STMFB, SPL2FTP and
SPL2FTPB commands. Using *USRDFT for the overlay will use
the default set up for the user in the SPLTOOL inteface.
To set this default sign on as the user to change the value
for, use the SPLTOOL command to start the SPLTOOL interface,
select F23 for Defaults and change the overlay paratmer in the
Global Defaults section.
SP130329 - Added option to SPL2EMAIL and SPL2EMAILB commands to allow *TLS
on the SSL parameter.
v9.65 - Added the SPLPDFCFG2 command which allows users to set up PDF attributes
dependant upon the User Data field of the spooled file. Users can
add records to this file with specific User Data values that can be used
to override the PDF document attributes such as page size, spacing,
and font size. Please note, if a record is matched in this file the
data that is in the SPLPDFCFG command is ignored.
SP140219b - Fixed HTML and pagebreaks. Not having </p> on the page break
markup caused issues in some cases.
SP140303 - Added the option in the SPLTOOL interface to use option 10 (email)
on multiple spooled files at once
SP140304 - Fixed issue when specifying a default TO address and using option 10
on multiple spooled files.
SP140501 - Added Job Name and Job Number to the SPLTOOL command and interface for
better subsetting options.
v9.66 - Added the ability to specify a default library for the SPL2PF command.
v9.67 - Added the ability to use configuration files for sending emails when using the
SPL2EMAIL or SPL2EMAILB commands.
Added SAVE, MSGID, MSGIDDOM, CLOSECON in addition to the CONFIG parameter for
MAILTOOL compatibility.
MAILTOOL v7.10 or higher is required for this version of SPLTOOL.
v9.68 - Increased the size of the user options field from 256 to 1024 bytes.
Added the option to specify &X and the default extension for the user will be
replaced in the string.
SP140807 - Updated application so that if the SPLUCREATE data area is not
set to *YES, if a user runs the SPLTOOL command and they are not
set up in the user file (SPLTOOLPF, which is configured with the
SPLTOOLCFG command) they are exited out of the command. If the
value of this data area is *YES, it will function as normal.
SP140925 - Updated SPL2EMAIL so that when an error was found sending an email
the error message from MAILTOOL would be in the job log as well.
SP140926b- Updated SPL2EMAILB, SPL2STMFB and SPL2FTPB to use the QGY APIs
instead of List Spooled Files API to eliminate any errors
due to the user space getting filled and to help increase
performance.
SP140929 - Updated SPLATT command to use the QGP APIs.
SP141010 - Updated Batch Commands to report any error messages and data when
encoutered (ie, invalid Output Queue, etc).
SP150208 - Fixed bug when converting AFPDS spooled file an a file to concatenate
was specified it was being ignored.
SP150209b - SPL2EMAIL command was ignoring overrides for AFPDS spooled files. Fixed.
SP150621 - Fixed bug when using SPL2EMAIL and name was blank. Was saying that directory
entry wasn't found. Now reports an error saying it can't be blank.
SP150708 - Recompiled with latest version of MAILTOOL (v8.20).
SP150711 - Fixed SPL2EMAIL and SPL2EMAILB commands. The IMPORTANCE flag wasn't being
set properly.
SP150714 - If email address has a single quote it the quote would get doubled up. Fixed.
v10.00 - Added licensing by date (SaaS) option.
SP151016 - Fixed issue when merging spooled files with the SPL2STMFB command
and no spooled files were found an error was issued saying
invalid JOB parameter on the SPL2STMF command. Fixed.
v10.10 - Added completion message for SPL2EMAIL saying
"Email Sent To xxxxx@xxxx.xxx" as older versions did.
SP160314 - Added option to allow the IBM system to create the PDF files
for either *SCS spooled files, *AFPDS spooled files, or both.
To set this value simply change the value of the SPLPDFIBM data
area in library SPLTOOL to either *SCS for just *SCS spooled
files, *AFPDS for just *AFPDS spooled files, or *ALL
for both *SCS and *AFPDS spooled files.
SP160318 - Updated IBM conversion option to also allow overlays.
SP160318b - Updated applications so objects created in QTEMP have *PUBLIC
*ALL authority. This is useful when profile swapping is
used in applications that use SPLTOOL functions.
SP160411b - Added option 11 to SPLTOOL interface which will allow emailing
of spooled files one at a time.
Updated option 10 when cancelling the group email send with
F3 or F12 on the SPL2EMAILG command, it will reset the spooled
files that should be emailed and not include the spooled files
selected before cancelling. Also fixed bug when cancelling a
group option 10 would only be single after that.
SP160722 - Updated the SPLATT command to save the number of copies to the
SPLATTPF file.
v10.20 - Added PDFBC command which allows you to add a Code 128, UCC Code 128,
Code 39 or Code EAN-13 barcode to a PDF.
v10.30 - Added PDFIMG command which allows you to add an image to a PDF.

of the image either *UNDER or *OVER the PDF data.
SP161026 - Added port parameter to SPL2FTP and SPL2FTPB commands to allow
user to set the FTP port to use.
SP161130 - Added option to send emails via *G4MSMAIL on SPL2EMAIL commands.
v10.50 - Added parameters so you can add PDF Title, PDF Author, PDF Suject,
PDF Keywords and PDF Application. The PDF Creator and Creation Date
meta tags will be automatically filled. This option will not work
with SPL2FLR or SPL2FLRB. This option will also not work if you're
using SPL2STMFB, SPL2EMAILB or SPL2FTPB and MERGE(*YES). If
you use the PDFCAT command after creating a spooled file with SPLTOOL
this will also remove the PDF meta data.
Added SPLUPDATE command to make updating versions easier.
SP180724 - Added check for number of spooled file pages is greater than
999,999. If so on the SPLTOOL display the number of pages
will display 999,999 in reverse image and blinking.
Previously this would cause SPLTOOL to error out.
SP181008 - Added update so the system date format (MDY, DMY or ISO) is
used when displaying the spooled file date in the SPLTOOL
interface.
v10.51 - Updated PRTRNG command to handle spooled files over 1 million pages.
Changed the FROM and TO pages from 6 digits to 9.
Changed OS version requirements from V7R1 to V7R2.
SP200615 - Added functionality to adopt authorization lists from parent
directory.
SP210730 - Updated so that temp files created with Java will be granted
authority so they can be removed by user without *ALLOBJ
authority.
SP210922 - Replaced what seemed to be a damaged object (S2E001RG) causing
odd errors when using SPL2EMAIL.
v11.00 - Updated to be compatible with MAILTOOL v12.00 and up. In that version
the subprocedure names were updated to remove the leading hashtag (#)
from the functions. The calls the MAILTOOL functions were updated
in this version.
SP240206 - Updated Replace option to check for the file and delete it
with RMVLNK to avoid errors replacing with IBM IFS APIs
if the file exists with an incompatible CCSID.
SP240423 - Updated SPL2EMAIL commands to allow SENDWITH value of
*G4GSMAIL.
