Re: How to save an Outq

Haven't been paying attention for a week, and maybe some did suggest this 
and I missed it, but what about the Save/Restore Spool File Tool (commands 
ZSAVSPLF & ZRSTSPLF) in the current (ie V5) QUSRTOOL library - the free 
one included as OS/400 part 7 (Example Tools Library) ?
This tool has been there since at least V4R1 - possibly earlier.  Check 
member TSRINFO in file QUSRTOOL/QATTINFO for details.

Also, try to use the spooled file APIs to retrieve the specifics of
the actual spooled file like CPI, LPI, form type, etc.  These things
are attributes of the spooled file and are not contained within the
spooled file data you get with CPYSPLF.  You'll have to loop through
an output queue to get all of the spooled files there...

/* Save */
rtv attributes
cpysplf
somehow link attributes with splf data

/* Restore */
retrieve linked attributes
ovrprtf
cpyf
