I can sent you an *cmd *clp and the *pgm which monitors an outq reads from
each new splf the first heading line and send it to an user's message queue.

Subject: My own spooling program?


Would it be difficult to write a program monitoring OUTQ, getting text from
spool files and changing their status based on spool name and USRDTA.

To be clear, I would like to write something which would work like this:

1. User prints something, as he/she always does
2. Spool enters OUTQ
3. My program gets notified about new spool
4. My program checks spool name and user data
5. My program gets text from spool file
6. {My program sends this text through network to different Perl program,
notifying it about spool name and USRDTA} -OR- {writes this to IFS text file
creating unique filename from spool name and USRDTA, IFS file is monitored
by my Perl program} -OR- {RPG sends printer control commands to a printer
through CA printer session [not network printer with own IP address]}
7. My Perl program does watever I want with received data, in this
particular example converts it to RTF and prints.
