RE: qusrsplfa API

[Scott Klement <klemscot@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

So, you're saying that you don't know the job name/number/user, spool file
name, or spool file number for a spooled file, and you're hoping to get
this from QUSRSPLFA?  Actually you need to know those things in order to
call QUSRSPLFA as well.   (Though, you can try to get attributes based
on "partial info", such as when you know the job name & user but not the
number, or when you know the job name & number but not the user, or
when it's the current job...   but you need something to start with!)

If you're looking to get a list of those details for all of the spooled
files in a given output queue, or for a given user, or have a certain
form type, or something then you need to call the QUSLSPL API which
can return a list of one or more spool files. (And then, for each file in
that list, you might decide to call QUSRSPLFA to get some of the gory
details of each one)

If this is really a simple thing (where you're retrieving attributes for
the last spooled file in the current job, for example) you might attempt
to do this in CL....   But, for something more complicated than that, I
don't think I'd bother with CL.  Sure, it may be possible -- but the code
would be horrible.   Do it in RPG or C.
