To Stream File, TOSTMF, contains the folder and file name I wish to save the spooled file to. In this example I will save it to the document test. IFS folder My. Folder. Work Stations Customization Object, WSCST, must be DF. When I run the RUNQRY command, line 2, no spool file is produced. The PDF file is created in My. Folder instead. To view it you can either use the Operations Navigator or you can use the DSPLNK at the command prompt DSPLNK OBJMy.
