The system has the capability to send a message to a *DTAQ whenever a spool file is created on the system. This is documented at http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v5r4/topic/rzalu/rzaludataq.htm under the topic Environment variable data queue support. Using this support you could have a program (or multiple instances of a program) receiving creation notification messages and then doing whatever processing you might want to do.

There will unfortunately be a race condition in that your monitoring program is running in a separate job from the creating program, the print writer program, etc so if you're not "fast" the spool file might be here and gone before you can save/copy it off. This race could be eliminated by making sure there are no writers for the *OUTQ used for initial creation (move the reports to an *OUTQ with a writer after doing your processing) and that no one has the authorities to work with the *OUTQ contents of your "holding" *OUTQ. Undoubtedly there are other considerations (and alternative implementations), but I'm only on my second cup of coffee this morning :-) ).

Hi

Do you know any way to save all spool files which are created on the system?
"ALL" means that if user/process produce any spool - this spool is
immediately save somewhere independently of printing or deleting it?
