This second bit is the "want to do" bit, right?  One way to do this is to
use the USRDTA attribute of the spooled file.  You can use OVRPRTF to "tag"
the keepers, and QUSRSPLA could readily retrieve it.  Here's a snippet of
code from the old IBM TAA tools that does this using CL:

             DCL        &SPLF *CHAR LEN(10)
             DCL        &JOB *CHAR LEN(10)
             DCL        &USER *CHAR LEN(10)
             DCL        &JOBNBR *CHAR LEN(6)
             DCL        &SPLNBR *CHAR LEN(6)

             DCL        &DS *CHAR LEN(1000)
             DCL        &DSLEND *DEC LEN(9 0)
             DCL        &DSLENB *CHAR LEN(4)
             DCL        &QLFJOB *CHAR LEN(26
             DCL        &INTJOB *CHAR LEN(16
             DCL        &INTSPLF *CHAR LEN(16)
             DCL        &SPLNBRD *DEC LEN(9 0)
             DCL        &SPLNBRB *CHAR LEN(4)

             DCL        &USRDTA *CHAR LEN(10)

             CHGVAR     &QLFJOB (&JOB *CAT &USER *CAT &JOBNBR)  /* qual'd
job */

                        /* Determine SPLF number */
             IF         (&SPLNBR *EQ '*ONLY') DO /* ONLY */
             CHGVAR     &SPLNBRD 0
             GOTO       CVTSPLN
             ENDDO      /* ONLY */

             IF         (&SPLNBR *EQ '*LAST') DO /* LAST */
             CHGVAR     &SPLNBRD -1
             GOTO       CVTSPLN
             ENDDO      /* LAST */

                        /* If not *ONLY or *LAST, convert the nbr */
             CHGVAR     &SPLNBRD &SPLNBR

 CVTSPLN:    CHGVAR     %BIN(&SPLNBRB 1 4) &SPLNBRD

                        /* Use 1000 byte len for DS - Cvt to bin */
             CHGVAR     &DSLEND 1000
             CHGVAR     %BIN(&DSLENB 1 4) &DSLEND

             CALL       QUSRSPLA PARM(&DS &DSLENB 'SPLA0100' +
                          &QLFJOB &INTJOB &INTSPLF &SPLF &SPLNBRB)

 USRDTA:     CHGVAR     &USRDTA %SST(&DS 91 10)
