Unfortunately the DATQ on the OUTQ is virtually worthless for the rerouting
task at hand.
An entry is only made if the spool file goes into a ready(RDY) status. 
Many jobs write to the outq in many other statuses like HLD etc.   Which
never generate a DATQ entry at all.

I haven't used that technique for that reason.  And Yes I have written a
OUTQ rerouting utility from 
one AS/400 to another(actually between six of them).  

I think (as I said before) that it would be easy to write one for the JOBQ
need.

BTW -  Rochester would have to do the work,(DTAQ idea),  not Toronto.
