RE: Performance of WRKOUTQ OUTPUT(*PRINT) vs. List Spooled Files (QUSLSPL) vs. Open List of Spooled Files (QGYOLSPL)

I will second Bruce's answer. Having used all three at various times in the past Open List of Spooled Files is definitely the best way to go.

Open List of Spooled Files is the way I would go. You won't run into space limitations, you can get a degree of parallelism with your database writes and the APIs background processing, ...

I'm not sure how attaching a *DTAQ to selected *OUTQs will allow you to maintain your own database (without rebuild). While *DTAQ messages can be received for some transitions related to spooled files, I don't believe you will be able to track all changes to the spooled files.
