COPYPRT indicates that the SSP COPYPRT procedure will

be executed and that the print report(s) will be

extracted from the AS/400 print spool prior to

translation into a workstation print format. Selecting

TRANSLATE specifies that an existing COPYPRT file will

be translated into the workstation print format.

AS/400 print spool. Valid entries are the spool id (in
