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

Chuck,

my clp calls vendor's rpgle, which asks for the high/low parms, then
somehow submits the print pgm. There is no source code.

From the original message, as I recall, it was not absolutely clear
if the SBMJOB was in your CLP or if the Submit Job request was being
done by the vendor application which was being called by your CLP. For
the RCVMSG MSGTYPE(*LAST) to function, requires that RCVMSG request be
in the same CLP as the SBMJOB request *and* that the Submit Job request
must immediately precede that RCVMSG MSGTYPE(*LAST) request [except a
MONMSG which handles a failed SBMJOB, as a condition for which that
RCVMSG would then be bypassed].

Regards, Chuck

No matter what I try, it never goes to the submitted job message, nor
picks up the completion message from the submitted job. Is it
something to do with the call stack, and losing its "thread"??

The RCVMSG immediately after SBMJOB should probably be coded to
receive message type *LAST, if the request did not fail, to best
ensure receiving the completion message. That is how I have always
coded it, and it has never failed me. Or all prior messages in that
program message queue need to be deleted, before the SBMJOB is
issued. That is because the order of messages coming off of the
*PGMQ [program message queue] for a *COMP [completion message type;
in fact for non-exception messages, per MSGTYPE(*EXCP) doc] is FIFO
instead of LIFO. That would explain why the RCVMSG would be getting
a diagnostic "from up above in" the CLP.

No, if fact it is a message ID from up above in my CLP where a file
would be created, but it already exists (this happens BEFORE the
RPGLE print program is submitted). So, how do I get it to reflect
the "submitted job" parameters?
