        Subject:        Spool File Duplicating


We have a very unusual problem going on here. We have a job that runs 
nightly that produces a report that prints on a printer set up as a remote 
outq. Here's the strange part: a duplicate of that spool file is being 
created and sent to the same printer. This has been happening only for 
this spooled file/job/printer for about a month or so. The duplicate spool 
file says it is created by user QSPLJOB. The job that created it is the 
printer name. The printer device type is *USERASCII while the original one 
is *SCS. The device file is QPTMPLPD in QUSRSYS. The accounting code is 
*SYS. The program that opened file is left blank.The user defined data 
shows the job name/user/file number of the original spolled file. The 
other strange thing is that the spool file shows the total pages as being 
1 with an asterick next to it. I've looked at the joblog for that printer 
and every other spool file shows that the come from module QTMPLPRC 
procedure main and goes to module SPRMTDR procedure SendTcpIpSpooledFile. 
This spool file comes from module SPRMTDR procedure SendTcpIpSpooledFile 
to module SPRMTDR procedure _C_pep. Does anyone have a clue why the system 
is doing this and how I can stop it????
