Hi Richard,
The only reason i don't use this technique, is that you are not always sure that a spol was produced by the pgm. and in this case, if you mail the last one (for example) it is not necessary the one you are expecting.
I guess if the user uses the attention key or system request key to interrupt your program and run another one that generates a spooled file, you could end up mailing the wrong one, though I think that's an unusual circumstance. Especially if you specify the spooled file name.
However, I do agree that if you know the spooled file number, it's better to use it. When you don't, you use something like *LAST (which is -1 for the QUSRSPLA API).
