I am tasked with doing an inventory of all spool files on our iseries.

Want counts of form types, etc.

Probably want the first page of each distinct report.

How can I collect all spool files in all outqs?

Here is my idea:

WRKOUTQ outqname *PRINT

Copy that into a database file

SQL to select unique rows

Read each record, DSPSPLF for each to get first page

Any better ideas?

Thanks in advance!
