Do you mean something like:
OVRPRTF FILE(QPRINT) OUTQ(QUSRSYS/BALEOUT) where BALEOUT is my
personal outq.

Not sure if it's possible to change the owner of the spool file to you.
OVRPRTF has a SPLFOWN parameter, but you can't assign your own personal
profile to it. If you are trying to keep the user running the job from viewing
the spool file, you may be able to do that via authorities on the outq you
override to (per above).

Subject: Question about redirecting spooled output

I have an RPG program that generates spooled output. The F-spec looks like

FQPRINT O F 132 PRINTER

The job in which this runs is under an entirely different user profile, and the
spool file goes to QUSRSYS/PRT01.

On this particular system, QUSRSYS/PRT01 gets purged on a daily basis.

I'm pretty sure this can be sent to another queue with an OVRPRTF, although
I'm not entirely sure how (or what queue).

But is there also an easy way to have it spooled to me, rather than to the
user profile under which the job runs?
