Oggetto: Authority to a spool file



hey all,

I've got a situation where I have an RPG CGI program that creates a spool
file, closes the printer file and then tries to manipulate the spool.

I'm trying to convert the spool file to a PDF file, using spool-o-matic by
gumbo.

the spool file is created, and completed, and closed.  but the convert
command is bombing because it says it the job doesn't have authority to the
spool file.

my problem with this is that the job trying to access the spool is the same
one that created it.

I do an override to the printer file splfown(*job), and I've double checked
that the spool IS listed with the attributes of the job that created it
(i.e. job name, user and number)

The convert spool command uses JOB(*) for 'current' job and SPLNBR(*LAST)
to identify the spool file i'm trying to convert.

So, my question(s) are:

Under what circumstances would a job NOT have authority to a spool file
that it created?

I hate to give the QTMHHTTP user more authority than it needs, is it
advisable to give QTMHHTTP *splctl authority?   would it even help my
situation?

any insight would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Rick
