<div><p></p>

<div class="section"><p>You can use the <a href="javadoc/com/ibm/as400/access/PrintObjectInputStream.html"> PrintObjectInputStream</a> class to read the raw contents
|
||
|
|
of a spooled file or Advanced Function Printing™ (AFP™)
|
||
|
|
resource from the server. The class extends the standard JDK java.io.InputStream
|
||
|
|
class so that it can be used anywhere an InputStream is used.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Obtain
|
||
|
|
a PrintObjectInputStream object by calling either the <a href="javadoc/com/ibm/as400/access/SpooledFile.html#GETINPUTSTREAM()"> getInputStream()</a> method on an instance of the SpooledFile
|
||
|
|
class or the <a href="javadoc/com/ibm/as400/access/AFPResource.html#GETINPUTSTREAM()"> getInputStream()</a> method on an instance of the AFPResource
|
||
|
|
class. Getting an input stream for a spooled file is supported for Version
|
||
|
|
3 Release 2 (V3R2), V3R7, and later versions of i5/OS™. Getting input streams for AFP resources is
|
||
|
|
supported for V3R7 and later.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Use one of the <a href="javadoc/com/ibm/as400/access/PrintObjectInputStream.html#READ()"> read()</a> methods for reading from the input stream. These
|
||
|
|
methods all return the number of bytes actually read, or -1 if no bytes were
|
||
|
|
read and the end of file was reached.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Use the <a href="javadoc/com/ibm/as400/access/PrintObjectInputStream.html#AVAILABLE()"> available()</a> method of PrintObjectInputStream to return
|
||
|
|
the total number of bytes in the spooled file or AFP resource. The PrintObjectInputStream
|
||
|
|
class supports marking the input stream, so PrintObjectInputStream always
|
||
|
|
returns true from the <a href="javadoc/com/ibm/as400/access/PrintObjectInputStream.html#MARKSUPPORTED()"> markSupported()</a> method. The caller can use the <a href="javadoc/com/ibm/as400/access/PrintObjectInputStream.html#MARK(INT)"> mark()</a> and <a href="javadoc/com/ibm/as400/access/PrintObjectInputStream.html#RESET()"> reset()</a> methods to move the current read position backward
|
||
|
|
in the input stream. Use the <a href="javadoc/com/ibm/as400/access/PrintObjectInputStream.html#SKIP(LONG)"> skip()</a> method to move the read position forward in the
|
||
|
|
input stream without reading the data.</p>
