What is the message ID of this error?

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!

Hi Walt,

are there any code examples of how to use QUSLSPL, to obtain a file
handle to the spooled output,
so I can open it, read the data, and then close the spooled file?

QUSLSPL does not return a file handle to anything, it just gives a list of
spooled files.

It's analogous to opendir/readdir/closedir, except that instead of reading
files in a filesystem, it reads spooled files.  (Which are not stored in
the standard filesystem like they would be in Unix-like operating systems)

I know how to use the open/close APIs but it's just a matter of finding
the output files.

Yes, that's what QUSLSPL does...  it lists the spooled files that are
available.

Then you use the "Open Spooled File (QSPOPNSP)", "Get Spooled
File Data (QSPGETSP)"  and "Close Spooled File (QSPCLOSP)" APIs to read
the contents of the spooled file itself.
