Hi Doug -

I want to list any spool files on my system with more than 1,000 pages. I wrote an RPGLE program using the API QUSLSPL to collect all the info but I hit the 16Meg limit for user space size. To "find" the big files I need to use the *ALL values input to the API, any subset would bypass the goal. With 280,000+ spool files on the LPAR I can't think of another way to do this. I can get a list sorted by pages using iSeries Nav. but it doesn't give anyway to print or export the results well. I'm running v5r4.

I ran into the same problem writing a spooled file cleanup routine. So
I generated a list of output queues, then processed one outq at a
time.

That worked for me, but I suppose if one outq had enough entries you
could still run into a problem.

At the moment I can't think of any other way that you can safely
subset it.
