RE: Prompting for Spool Files

Pete...

        I haven't written the specific RPG program to do this but I have
a number of programs to perform this type of functionality...

Assuming you are green on API calls and haven't had success finding the
RPG program you seek. Consider using the WRKSPLF OUTPUT(*PRINT) command
to get the information. Then use CPYSPLF to port the output to a
physical file in QTEMP. Once that is done, you should be able to use
OVRDBF and open the file with RPG, parse the contents and load the
selection display.

Subject: Prompting for Spool Files

I have collected several utilities that, in one way or another, work
with spool files.  None of them, however, have a "prompt" capability
where you can hit the F4 key and select from a list of spool files by
user or outq.

Before I write my own, does anybody have an RPG program that does this
already? Some of these utilities are great but having to know the Job
Name, User, Number and Spool file number is a pain.  I am looking for a
program that I can call that will list/page through spool files and then
will retrieve the Job Name, User ID, Job Number and Spool File number.

Even something close would be a help.
