I understand....  I seem to recall some spool api's (QSPGETSP, QSPPUTSP) that 
might work for you...

I also found this, if you have QUSRTOOL loaded...

Save and restore spooled files
The Save Spooled File (ZSAVSPLF) and Restore Spooled File sample commands can 
be used to save or restore a spooled file or a group of spooled files into a 
library. The library can optionally be saved to a device. The ZRSTSPLF command 
works only with spooled files saved using the ZSAVSPLF command.

The ZSAVSPLF and ZRSTSPLF commands and documentation are included in the 
QUSRTOOL library. See member TSRINFO in file QATTINFO in library QUSRTOOL.

Eric,

You are right, that should be the most simple way to do it. Nevertheless, I was 
really searching for a method to save the spools to disk AND restoring it on 
the new system. I was checking the spool's APIs, but it seems that there are 
some differences between the two versions (V4R5 and V5R3), so I'm not very sure 
how compatible would the data be.

(Wayne, thanks for your suggestion, but: I need to respect the original format 
and am afraid the CPYSPLF method does not allow this) 

Thanks for your help,

Luis Rodriguez

Hi,

Does anyone know of any (free) utility for saving and restoring *SCS spool 
files between V4R5 and V5R3? 

Thanks for your help,

Luis Rodriguez
