Hello Henrik,

>Where do I find the documentation for API QSPGETF?

This program and its mate QSPPUTF are not documented APIs.  They were provided 
via PTF way back on VRM130 or thereabouts.  If you search the documents at 
www.as400service.ibm.com you may find a reference.  You would be better off 
using the formal APIs documented in the Spooled File section of the System 
Programmer's API Reference.  However, here are some commands I created years 
ago as an interface to these programs.

 PUTSPLF:    CMD        PROMPT('Put Spooled File')                   
                                                                     
             PARM       KWD(FROMFILE) TYPE(Q1) MIN(1) FILE(*IN) +    
                          PROMPT('From database file')               
                                                                     
             PARM       KWD(TOOUTQ) TYPE(Q1) MIN(1) PROMPT('Output + 
                          queue')
