I've never done it, but I guess you can use a data queue... >From the Create Output Queue (CRTOUTQ) help... Data queue (DTAQ) - Help Specifies the name of the data queue associated with the output queue. Entries are logged in the data queue when spooled files are in ready (RDY) status on the output queue. A user program can determine when a spooled file is available on an output queue using the Receive Data Queue API (QRCVDTAQ) to receive information from a data queue. Each time a spooled file on the output queue reaches RDY status, an entry is sent to the data queue. A spooled file can have several changes in status (for example, RDY to held (HLD) to release (RLS) to RDY again) before it is taken off the output queue. These status changes result in entries in the data queue for a spooled file each time the spooled file goes to RDY status. When the data queue is created using the Create Data Queue (CRTDTAQ) command, the maximum message length (MAXLEN parameter) value should be at least 128 and the sequence (SEQ parameter) value should be *FIFO or *LIFO. More information about data queues on output queues is in the Printer Device Programming book, SC41-5713. hope this helps... Todd -----Original Message----- From: Wills, Mike N.

Is there a way to monitor the OUTQ to see if one or more spool files are in there and then kick off my program that will process it?
