Re: Spool file swap.

Ken,

The S/36EE command COPYPRT can be used to respool a file to an output
queue.  Assuming a file name of SPOOL you would use COPYPRT
NOCOPY,SPOOL,,PRINT
You could use COPYPRT to copy from an actual M36 spool file to disk file
in the first place, but I'm assuming as you redirect the output to an
OS/400 output queue you probably used CPYSPLF.  If you used CTLCHAR(*FCFC)
when you copied the entry to a disk file named SPOOL in QGPL you could
copy it back to a spool file with:
OVRPRTF QSYSPRT CTLCHAR(*FCFC)
CPYF QGPL/SPOOL QSYSPRT OUTQ(lib/queue)

You could also use SNDNETSPLF (option 1 from WRKOUTQ) to create a copy of
an output queue entry on either the same, or another, AS/400 - bypassing
the copy to disk file step altogether.  Or just move the spool file from
one queue to another.
(I'm not sure of what it is you're trying to achieve).

Hello again.
                 We have an M36 running on our /400, printers are mapped.
                 P1 is not physically connected to a printer, and is
simply used as an outque.
                 I can copy a /36 spooled entry to a file...i.e.
QGPL/SPOOL, now how to copy that spooled entry
                 to another actual outq on the /400?
                 I assume here, that because you may map printer devices
between machines, the outq images are interchangable.
