Hi Carl

I use RUNRMTCMD behind a subfile option to get that functionality. That 
might not be feasible as it requires a rexec daemon on the PC. CA provides 
that for Windows users, and it's standard for Linux distributions, but 
you'd need a third party package otherwise :( It does work very well 
though. My WRKUSROUTQ utility <http://www.dbg400.net/usroutq.html> includes 
codes to do it for converted spool files, if it's of any help.

Regards, Martin
