Re: How to work with queues and spool files from an RPG program?

["Simon Coulter" <shc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Elena,

Use the QUSLSPL API to list spooled files (by user, output queue, type, etc).  
You may also find the QSPROUTQ 
and QUSRSPLA APIs useful.  These are all documented in the API manual (used to 
be SPIR, can't remember what 
it is now -- the on-line version breaks it up into dozens of separate books).

Regards,
Simon Coulter.
