You can save a spooled file with InterformNG2 in three manners:

1. Save spooled file as InterformNG2 document.
2. Save a spooled file without InterformNG2
3. Save a spooled file into a save file with InterformNG2

The third option is covered below

If you want to save a spooled file including all spooled file attributes in a save file in the IFS, then you need to get to a command line in a 5250 session on the IBM i.

Here you can use the command:

IFORMNG2/SAVSPLF

The spooled file can be restored with the IFORMNG2/RSTSPLF command.

If you prompt the command with F4, then you are able to see all the parameters of the command:

                      Save splf to stream file (SAVSPLF)

Type choices, press Enter.

1. Spooled file
   The name of the spooled file, that you want to save.
2. Job name
   The name of the job, that created the spooled file. Here you can use * to refer to the current job name, user and job number.
3. User
   The user, that created the spooled file.
4. Number
   The job number of the job, that created the spooled file.
5. Spooled file number
   Here you can state the spooled file number as a specific number or either the only or last spooled file, that was created by the job selected above.
   If you e.g. have selected the current job with *, then you can use the *LAST value to select the last spooled file with the specified name, that was generated by the current job.
6. Job system name
   The name of the system (IBM i), where the spooled file was generated. Normally the default value *ONLY can be used. You only need to specify the name, if there are multiple spooled files with the same name, job and spooled file number, so that those cannot uniquely identify a spooled file.
7. Creation date
   The date when the spooled file was created. The use is for the same as the job system name.
8. Creation time
   The time when the spooled file was created. The use is for the same as the job system name.
9. To stream file
   The path and name of the stream file to be created. If the stream file already exist, then the command will fail with the error:
   CPA0A0: Object already exists.  Object is /iformng2/screenshot.if1. You can decide yourself for the extension of the stream file. In the example above the extension .if1 is used as this is the extension used by InterForm400.

Below a couple of examples illustrate how you can save a spooled file with this command.
