CRTPRNSPLF - CL Command

The CRTPRNSPLF command creates an AS/400 spool file from a PRN file that is on the IFS.
A PRN file is a file that can be generated from any Windows program using the
print command of that program and checking 'into file' in the print dialog box.
This PRN file can also be a result of LAUNCHER Office commands (for example
LNCPRTDOC).
The PRN file can be transferred into the IFS using the IFSPUT LAUNCHER Office
command.
