RE: [C400-L] Using QPSPGETSP

["Elvis Budimlic" <ebudimlic@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Almost there huh?  I have never used this particular api but have used
others that write to spooled files and concepts are pretty much the same.

In the DLTOLDSPLF example you looked at before is the code showing how to
get a pointer to the accessible data in the user space.  Basically you
should use QUSPTRUS api.
Once you have the pointer you're still in for some work as you need to know
the layout of the structures and which offsets to use to get to the data you
want.
The exact information for QSPGETSP is at:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/iseries/v5r2/ic2924/info/apis/QSPGETSP.htm

Refer to the "Format of the User Space" section.

Once you understand the structure layout (format) of the user space data,
you should still print or take a look at QSYSINC/H(QSPGETSP) header file so
you can declare pointers to structs defined in this header file and refer to
the actual variable names within the structures once you have the pointers
set correctly using appropriate offsets.

I know, clear as mud, but that is the basic process you should go through.

Subject: [C400-L] Using QPSPGETSP

Ok,
I have a Spool FIle handle ( FINALLY!) and obviously a user space.

How do I get the data from the API QPSPGETSP?

I call the function, so I  assume it places the data in the user space?

I basically want to extract the ( readable ) text from the spool file.

How do I point to it inside the user space?

Does anybody have any good examples?

TIA!
