R: Break up spool file based on information within

We use an home-made solution, based upon:
** a table  that holds
        **USD-DTA name that identifies the spool,
        ** name and type of the printer
        ** info on significant char that will be used by the program in
order
                to divide and dispatch the different pieces of the reports
        ** info on destination USER
        ** info on copies to produce for each dest.user
** a program, that runs timed, read an outq (called DISPATCH) and processes
/ breaks reports.

Sincerely

Yes, CPYSPLF will work for you; just write your own program to pick through
the resulting data and print the portions that you want.  Pseudocode
follows:

1) Run package
2) crtpf qtemp/print
3) cpysplf
4) run your pgm
5)   read qtemp/print
6)   determine the spooled attributes/form name, user data, outq, etc.
7)   if qsysprt open AND "break apart" reached, close qsysprt
8)   ovrprtf
9)   open qsysprt
10)   print line
