Re: Retrieving spooled file information inside an RPG program

IBM i System running V7.1
----------------------------------

I'm working in a JDE shop using the standard JDE copy books for the file
information data structure.

In my RPGIV program, if an error occurs, after I close the error report I
want to copy the spooled file to a database file. Also, before the printer
file was opened, an OVRPRTF was executed to change the name of the spooled
file.

Example:
OVRPRTF FILE(QSYSPRT) SPLFNAME(WINGNUT)

Thus the report was created with the name 'WINGNUT'.

I need the actual spooled file name and spooled file number for CPYSPLF.

From what I have observed,

1) The INFDS for the printer file does not give the full six-digit spooled
file number, only a 4-digit spooled file number.
2) The INFDS for the printer file also does not appear to have a field
containing the actual spooled file name which was opened.

How Do I get the full six-digit spooled file number and spooled file name
for the report?
