Merge multiple spools into a new big spool (OTF) ???

[Former Member]

Hi.

I just want to know how to merge multiples otf (or spool) into a new big spool.

All OTF are starting with something like that:

//XZSIMM 046B 0000000000

IN01FZVINVOICE_BPB01 FIRST

OPDINA4 P 144 240 1683811906000010000100000

When changing page we got a:

EP

All OTF are terminated with a EOF symbol:

//

How can i merge these OTF ????

Should I remove all // except the last one ?

I tried to remove the first line and the last line of each OTF but it doesn't work.

Please help me.

Hi Fabien,

Here is the solution to merge multiple OTF data....

EP is the command which indicates end of page.

Suppose the two OTF data are like this:

// XHPLJIIID 0620 00000000001

IN 04EZSHAIL_SMFORM1

IN 05%PAGE1

OP DINA4 P 144 240 3495731000100289301000

IN 06MAIN

EP

//

// XHPLJIIID 0620 00000000001

IN 04EZSHAIL_SMA1

IN 05%PAGE1

OP DINA4 P 144 240 238974761890001001100010

IN 06MAIN

EP

//

The merged OTF should be like this:

// XHPLJIIID 0620 00000000001

IN 04EZSHAIL_SMFORM1

IN 05%PAGE1

OP DINA4 P 144 240 3495731000100289301000

IN 06MAIN

EP

IN 04EZSHAIL_SMA1

IN 05%PAGE1

OP DINA4 P 144 240 238974761890001001100010

IN 06MAIN

EP

//

The idea is like this:

Each OTF data has to begin and end with '//'.

Each page should end with 'EP'.

So, to merge multiple OTF data, after each EP command, append the data

part of each OTF data.(DON'T INCLUDE THE FIRST LINE ie: // XHPLIIID ....)

This is how you merge multiple OTF data to one OTF data...
