Re: Determine Spool file attributes

Hi.  A related question.  I have a bunch of spool files for a job that is
already finished sitting in an outq.  I want to back up these files to tape
and the only way I know how to do that is copy them to a physical file using
CPYSPLF (if there is a better way please let me know).  There are several
thousand of them so I need to write a program rather than do it from the
command line.

Since these files were created with multiple jobs previously run I can't use
the file feedback data structure to retrieve the spool file attributes I
need. required by CPYSPLF.

In other words I want to process an outq in batch. Is there an API or perhaps
a physical file somewhere that has the info I need.

Thanks in advance for advice
