qibm_notify_crtsplf could take care of problem #1. Set it in the users initial job if you don't want it apply to everybody. Not sure on #2. All of my outq/dtaq usage is via fake printers designed to process spool files to various destinations.

Two problems I see....
1) You'd have to monitor every outq
2) Sometimes the file is gone by the time you can react.
Remember, it has to be in a RDY state to have a message placed on the data queue and I've seen them disappear into the printers buffer before I could do anything.

There is a way to use a DTAQ, perhaps - here is the documentation on
this feature -
You can associate a data queue with an output queue so that when a
spooled file on the output queue goes to a ready (RDY) status, an
entry is sent to the data queue.
To view the layout or content of the data queue entry that is sent,
seeRecord type 01 data queue entry format

.
To associate the data queue and output queue, use theCreate Data Queue
(CRTDTAQ)command to create the data queue. Specify the maximum message
length (MAXLEN) parameter value as at least 128. The sequence (SEQ)
parameter value is*FIFOor*LIFO. Then, on the
A program could be waiting on the DTAQ and have a table to control what
you do.
Maybe?

I've probably asked this before, and probably more than once, but . . .
Is there an easy way to set a given user so that *all* of that user's
spool files are held on creation?
