Re: Spooled file problem

As I recall, the QUSLSPL utility can return the internal 'key', to the
spooled file, bypassing the spooled number issue.  I believe you can then
use the spool copy API using the special internal key to get the data
out.  I have not done this, just remember reading about it, so I could be
completely wrong.

I would look into replacing the CPYSPLF command with the more flexible API
method.



The _pressing_ problem we have here, is that we have a lot of save
spooled files with the same name (for example, Invoices), which is
causing this four-digit number to "top out" at 9999.  We have a utility
which takes the spooled file and turns it to ASCII for pretty print, but
this utility BOMBS when the high number is reached.
