Re: CPYSPLF from batch job

John,

You may be able to do what you need by creating a CL with the same name as the submitted CL program, place the new object in a library above the AMALIB_ (if you have a modified XA library, that would be ideal). In this CL you would use the RTVJOBA as stated earlier but you would also retrieve the actual library name were the original CL object was found (normally AMALIB_). The reason you do this step is to not repeatedly call the "new" version.



The "new" version of the CL would basically perform these functions:

1) It would retrieve the original CLP program library

2) It would retrieve the job attributes

3) It would call the original XA CL program (passing the correct parms, of course)

4) When the original program was completed, your "new" version could call any additional programs to perform the CPYSPLF command (and whatever else it needed to do).



By creating the program with the same name, you are essentially modifying the program, without modifying it.


Make sure the new program has the same parms passed as the original and that you call the original program using this technique - CALL PGM(&AMALIB/AMIXXX) PARM(&LDA &whatever &whatever).

I am needing to copy the Mapics Open Orders/Back Orders by Item report
(spool file name AMBDZPFP) to a physical file. I then run the PF through
an RPGLE program to replace the report date in the header to reflect the
date the actual data is for.



The CPYSPLF command requires job name, user and number of the spool file
being copied. My problem is that the report gets submitted to a random
batch job so I have no way of finding the job name or number.



Has anyone done something similar? Is there a Mapics report override
that will help me?



Any help is greatly appreciated.



Thanks,
