I'm familiar with the PRTCMNTRC and have downloaded the sample file iseries.cap.
The spool file output of PRTCMNTRC is just a normal spool file, but iseries.cap is not only ASCII, but also seems to be double-byte format.
Could you ask the poster of iseries.cap how the AS400 spool file was moved to the pc or if their AS400 has double byte enabled?
If there is no good answer,  I'll write a routine to stick a hex FFFE in the beginning of the file and insert a hex 00 after every byte.
I can also send the comm traces in other formats, if it will be of any assistance.
