This is _almost_ possible with no programming at all if Client Access is installed. Given all the clues, it should be possible for a VB programmer to make it nice and neat. I create a directory c:\splfs to hold printed output and a Windows generic printer that prints to a file. I create a shortcut to lstsplf.exe from my Client Access directory and put the shortcut in the \splfs directory. (There are a few .exe objects that are handy in the Client Access directory.) I change the shortcut properties Target: to add " /system MYAS400" without quotes after "...lstsplf.exe". Now I can click on the shortcut and get a list of my spoolfiles on the MYAS400 system. I can change the <Options> to only include a specific outq. From the list, I can view spoolfiles and then print them to my Windows printer needing only to specify a file name such as "c:\splf\myoutput.txt". Obviously it's all possible. Just needs some PC-side expertise to put it all together. Certainly a drag/drop capability would be nice.
