Re: Retrieve print file attributes API

Also to clarify, are you looking for printer file attributes, or
spooled file attributes? Makes a difference as well too. :)

It sounds like printer file, not spooled file.

No problem Luis. If I had been looking at the V7R1 Infocenter like I
should instead on the V5R4 Infocenter, I would never have needed to ask the
question.

Jeff,

My apologies for the confusion.

IIRC, Rob's API appeared in V6R1. AFAIK, at least for V5R3 there isn't an
API available. In fact, you cannot even output the attributes to an
*OUTFILE. The only way I know is interpreting DSPFD's printed output (not
the best idea, I know).

Jeff,

There is always the QUSRSPLA API (Retrieve spooled file attributes).
One tip: Search the infocenter for "API FINDER". You can find APIs

grouped

by function.

All,

Is there an API to retrieve print file attributes? I cannot find

one.

I have the TAA tools which have a RTVPRTFA command. I tried

retrieving

the

source for that CL program to see what API it uses and the source is

not

available. Then I noticed in the documentation for the RTVPRTFA

command

that it uses an outfile to retrieve the information, so maybe there

is

no

API . . .

Thanks.
