This command must be run on the IBM i and is a much simpler version of the CRTPPD command. Make sure that you have the CPPD library in your library list. To do this, enter the following command: -
ADDLIBLE CPPD
If the library already exists in your library list, you will receive an error message, which you may ignore.
Next enter RUNPPD and press F4=Prompt.
You will now be able to enter selection criteria and the spooled file or files matching the selection criteria will be selected and converted.
