RE: Spooled File Job Number for CPYSPLF

I think you might want to look into the Retrieve Identity of Last Spooled File Created (QSPRILSP) API
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v5r4/index.jsp?topic=/apis/QSPRILSP.htm

very easy to use and there are multiple examples on the web

Hi all,
I am trying to do a CPYSPLF (using CommandCall) to a spooled file which
I have written to AS400 using SpooledFileOutputStream and appropriate
writer. Before writing the spooled file, I have used RTVJOBA
(ProgramCall through a CL wrapper) to retrieve the user, job number and
job name. However, when I perform CPYSPLF, it failed because "File
<something> not found in job <xxx/yyy/zzz>". I tried to check out the
spooled file attributes, and it has the job number etc different from
what is retrieved by RTVJOBA.
I have also tried specifying SPLFOWN(*JOB) in CRTPRTF before writing,
but still job number and job name still remains different though user is
the same.
Can I know why is this happening? Is there any way to fix this thing?
Thanks.
