Re: Saving and restoring spooled files

It's fairly simple. You copy your spool file to disk using cpysplf making
sure you have CTLCHAR(*FCFC) in the command. Then you do and OVRPRTF to the
printer file name, specifying the outq device you want it to go to, and then
do a cpyf of the saved file name to the Printer filename you would like,
such as qsysprt. A Snip-it would be. (Put what's necessary in the variable
parameters.)

CPYSPLF FILE(&FILE) TOFILE(PRINTED) JOB(&JOB) +
SPLNBR(*LAST) CTLCHAR(*FCFC)

OVRPRTF FILE(QSYSPRT) PAGESIZE(&PAGLGT &PAGWDT) +
LPI(&LPI) CPI(&CPI) RPLUNPRT(*YES) +
CTLCHAR(*FCFC) CHLVAL(*NORMAL) +
PRTTXT(&NAME) OUTQ(&DEVICE) +
HOLD(*NO) USRDTA(&INIT)

CPYF FROMFILE(MTLR7LIB/PRINTED) TOFILE(QSYSPRT)

Subject: Saving and restoring spooled files

Hi all,
I know this might not be the appropriate forum, but not sure where else I
can request for help on this.

How can I save a single spooled file to a savf or disk, so I can
restore/recreate it to a specific outq?

I tried using the savsplf & rstsplf commands published in i-seriesnetwork
article by Kevin Vette.
This was published in April 2006, the article id is 20474.
I am trying to use this but it does not seem to work?

Also tried the ZSAVSPLF command for which a sample code is supplied by IBM
in qusrtool library, but it does not have the option to restore the spool
file to a different outq.
I tried to change the c source for that command but with no result, due to
my limited understanding.



Any help is greatly appreciated.


Thanks & Regards
Praveen
