Re: OUTQ contents save

[Jeff_Velten@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

We use two commands that were supplied to us by IBM, which use CPPs that
are already on your system. The commands are GETSPLF (converts an outq to a
database file, CPP QSPGETF), and PUTSPLF (converts the database file back
to spool files, CPP QSPPUTF). These commands will work with IPDS spool
files as well, which I don't believe the TAATOOLs do. If anyone would like
the source for these commands, please respond via private e-mail.

HTH,
Jeff

nightly save?

There are spool file APIs that you can use to save the entries complete
with all atributes to user spaces or physical files, which can be saved.
You can create new spool files from the user space data, which will be
exact duplicates of the originals, but you must write some code. You can
also use the CPYSPLF command to put the data in a physical file, but
some of the attributes are lost, and it will only work with plain old
text output.
