Re: Which Spool Files Actually Printed?

Hi Sam -

I have created a dataq which I will attach to OUTQs as needed. This
means that each time a spool file is created in RDY status a record is
written to the dataq. I'm assuming that these spool files will print,
since the printers are left on overnight.

I have a short RPG program waiting on the dataq which takes the dataq
data and calls a bound CLLE program that uses the TAATOOL/RTVSPLFA
command to get me the usrdta, number of pages and number of copies.

I then write the info to a database file.

I see a hazard here that a short report could be printed and gone
before the attributes are retrieved.
