Re: [C400-L] Help with QUSLSPL

[Walt Fles <wfles@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ok Ive made some progress!

I found the spool file to my job, now I want to open the spool file and 
send it back to the system.

This is the function call I use:
QSPOPNSP( &splfilehandle, ( void * ) qualjobname,
                       ( void * ) "                ", /* 16 blanks */
                       ( void * ) "                ", /* 16 blanks */
                       Splf_Name, Rcv_Spl_Var->Splf_Number,
                       -1, &err_code );
I get this error:
Job system name is not valid.

Any ideas?

I know that this is really touchy code and misplacing a blank can lead 
to disastrous results.

TIA!
