Creating a document from an iSeries optical file

I wanted to create a hard copy document from an optical file located in the IFS. I can locate the file that I need, but need to recover the file into a document that can be printed. Would need a function on the iSeries that I can use to generate the document from the optical file.


Use Case:

N/A

    Thank you for submitting this request.

    There is not enough information provided to understand what is needed.

    - Why can't your application find the file(s)? Are they normally put in a different location?
    - Does this happen all the time or is this a one-time occurrence?
    - Did you try to copy the files from the Optical drive to where the application can find it(them)?
    - Are the files in the wrong format?

    Any other details you can provide would be helpful.
