Re: inventory spool files

A possible workaround (with my poor knowledge of QSH/xNIX commands)
would be (using your example, displaying the first 30 lines of the
file):

CPYSPLF FILE(QPRTSPLQ) TOFILE(*TOSTMF)
TOSTMF('/buck/qprtsplq.txt') WSCST(*NONE)

STRQSH CMD('head -30 /buck/qprtsplq.txt')

Of course it is possible to redirect the output of head command to a
file, or different files based on the requirements.


Or ditch the Copy From Spooled File (CPYSPLF) and just use the QShell utility `catsplf`; assumed: QPRTSPLQ was Spooled File Number SPLNBR(1), and a conspicuously contrived qualified job name:

QSH CMD('catsplf -j 999999/BUCKSUSER/BUCKSJOB QPRTSPLQ 1 | head -30')

The already discussed SQL request could be used to generate a shell-script that potentially could be run to perform all the work that the OP alluded was required.
