Re: CPYSPLF - but don't know the spooled file number

Don,

If the job only creates a single spool file, then you can use the special
value of *ONLY. If the job produces several spool files and you just want
to get the most recent one, then use the special value *LAST.

Greetings,

I run a menu step which is a CLP I created and which CALLS an Outside_Print_Package_Program (CLP & RPG) for which I have no SOURCE CODE.

The program which loads up requests options, and may then be run interactively or in batch.

I would prefer this to run in batch all the time, but then I need to CPYSPLF the printer spooled output file and do some further processing. I want to automatically retrieve and fill in the required CPYSPLF command options, but I don't think I will know or have access to the "spooled file number" (unless I manually look it up) when the job is submitted to batch. Is that correct? Am I missing something simple here?

TIA
Don
