ARSDOC get retrieval of report

[scott.walsh]

I am trying to extract a z/OS loaded report by way of the arsdoc command.  I am able to retrieve the report and store in a ZFS directory, but the format is unformatted.  If I try to display it while in ISHELL and "View" I am prompted with a lrecl.  My ultimate goal is to save as a DS to load for testing purposes.  My first thought would have been to simply send a print out to a server printer, but the current Print exit is frustrating me.

I think i gave up on formatting the file on OMVS.  Just spun it to a dataset on ispf.   Removed the " -o agapp  -d /u/home/w866451 " and it wrote the report out to STDOUT.

That's basically how I've done this in the past other than printing the report back on to the spool and then doing a spool print to a dataset.

Printing it back to the spool is the way we've always done it.  Here, they use a Print exit that massages the output class/writer/desk so we can't just do what we used to. Whole "customized" process.  Yeah!!  Thanks though.
