RE: Newbie Question

Add these declarations to the top of your CL program:

DCL VAR(&JOB) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(10)
DCL VAR(&NBR) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(10)
DCL VAR(&USER) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(10)

Add this line before your WRKACTJOB command:

RTVJOBA JOB(&JOB) USER(&USER) NBR(&NBR)

Then change the CPYSPLF and DLTSPLF commands to use these
new variables:

CPYSPLF FILE(QPDSPAJB) TOFILE(KAF/WAJFILE) +
JOB(&NBR/&USER/&JOB) SPLNBR(*LAST)

DLTSPLF FILE(QPDSPAJB) JOB(&NBR/&USER/&JOB)

This allows your CL program to dynamically know which spool
file to manipulate.

Subject: Newbie Question

Preface to say that I'm very new to the as400, stronger unix
background.

I'm trying to write a small CL program that puts the output
of WRKACTJOB
into a PC file so that it can be FTPed off the as400, ideally
having the CL
program executed by the FTP script using RMCD. I have the
basics down as
shown below:

WRKACTJOB OUTPUT(*PRINT)

/* Delay for 2 seconds for output to finish */
DLYJOB DLY(3)

/* Copy spool output to file KAF/WAJFILE */
CPYSPLF FILE(QPDSPAJB) TOFILE(KAF/WAJFILE) +
JOB(419900/USER/QPRTJOB) SPLNBR(*LAST)

DLTSPLF FILE(QPDSPAJB) JOB(419900/USER/QPRTJOB)

This will sometimes work, and sometimes not ending with a
CPF3343 message. I
have tried ending a MONMSG line to catch those, but even
putting a DLTSPLF
command in the MONMSG ends with the same error.

At this point I've tried just about every combination of
options (using the
job name for JOB parameter, using SMBJOB for the WRKACTJOB
command, etc) but
always run into some problem.

So my question is, what's the correct way to accomplish this?
Being somewhat
new, code examples are always welcome. Thanks.
