Re: Determine Spool file attributes

["Rick Staebler" <Linda_Rick_Staebler@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

What I have done with this:
cpy the spool file attribs as a print then read all of "my" spool file
entries back into a subfile with their attribs. I have sent you a copy of
the programs directly as it's too large for this forum. It only does one at
a time which is how I used it but simple mod. to do multiples.  You can copy
the source from the text files directly into SEU., good luck, Rick.
