RE: Need an API to modify status on spoolfile

No not exactly, what I am doing is  I have an OUTQ defined specifically for
emailing spool files, when jobs are sent to this queue in a status of ready
a
DATAQ record is written,  which inturn is the signal to my email job
(which runs constantly)  to email the file to the user.   The thing is,
if the print  file
was defined with   a SAVE attribute I want to still retain the file
otherwise I simply remove the spoolfile from the system.   For the time
being I simply defined
another outq (EMAILSENTQ)  and am moving the files with SAVE to this OUTQ .

I can't come up with one, but perhaps there's a different way to approach
your business need.  Are you trying to position certain files near the end
of WRKSPLF?  If so, consider CHGSPLFA OUTPYT().  The default is 5; larger
numbers are produced (and listed) later than small numbers.

Sorry if I got it wrong.
