RE: Sharing spoolfiles

["Bale, Dan" <DBale@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've never done this, but I believe that you want to look at OVRPRTF
SHARE(*YES).

If this doesn't work, and there's only five pages (as per your example), you
could use CPYSPLF on all of the spool files you want to "connect", and then
CPYF the concatenated data to a printer file.  You'll need to use
CTLCHAR(*FCFC) on the CPYSPLF command if you do this; also override the cpyf
TOFILE printer file with OVRPRTF CTLCHAR(*FCFC).

Other things to consider are whether all the different spool files that
you're connecting have the same spool file attributes; CPI, LPI, LPP, CPL.

Subject: Sharing spoolfiles


Hi,
I'm wondering if it's possible to share a spoolfiles between 2 or more
queries/programs?
For example, program 1 creates a 2-page spoolfile and ends, then
program 2 is run, it's output of say 3 pages is appended to the 2-page
spoolfile created by program 1 making it a total of 5 pages.
Is this possible? If yes, how?
Thanks.
Regards,
Matthias
