Re: Search and Release Spool files

One comment in between.  I find that QUSPTRUS is a lot cleaner to maintain 
than QUSRTVUS.  Granted the thought of using a pointer was enough to send 
me shuddering in fear at first.  But after writing one using QUSPTRUS I 
found it a lot easier to understand and maintain.  There is only one 
drawback to QUSPTRUS and as long as you stick to QTEMP for your user 
spaces (which 95% of the time I do) this shouldn't be a problem.  And that 
drawback is the system value QALWUSRDMN.  Now, if I was a software vendor, 
and I wasn't using QTEMP, then I might shy away from QUSPTRUS and instead 
use QUSRTVUS.  But I am not in that category so I haven't used QUSRTVUS 
after my first use of QUSPTRUS.  Good examples of the QUSPTRUS may be 
found in the redbook.

Search and Release Spool files






Hi everyone,
    I am creating a new program that will search specified output queues 
by usrdta for* held* spool files and release the spool file for 
printing. I have planned on using the following API's to do this:
     QUSCRTUS -- Create User Space 
     QUSLSPLF -- List Spooled Files 
     QUSRTVUS -- Retrieve User Space 
     QUSRSPLA -- Retrieve Spooled File Attributes 
     QUSDLTUS -- Delete User Space
   I will pass the spool attributes to a CL that will call the RLSSPLF 
command.

Am I heading in the right direction, or can this be done an easier way?

Thanks,
Justin Houchin
