In order to find out the name and location for the PPD file that is being used by the Spooled File Monitor you need to perform the following steps:

From the main CPPD menu select "6. PPD file maintenance"

Now select "5. Work with spool file monitor"

Using the PageUp and PageDown keys identify the PPD Member that is being used to pick up your Spooled File. Make a note of the PPD Member name.

Now return to the main CPPD menu and select "1. Work with PPD"

Enter the PPD Member name that you noted down into the Position To entry at the top right hand side of the screen and press Enter. This should position the list to display the Page Definition you are interested in.

Enter a "2=Revise" beside the entry and press Enter.

Press "F10=More parameters"
