Re: Changing Spool file ownership

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

If you have SNA configured, you could always use SNDNETSPLF to send a copy
of the spool file to the new owner.  Yes, the job will be different.  Yes,
now you will have two copies.

If you are trying to change it to a group profile, you always have that
option, providing the user is a member of that group.

For most objects, if I need to change the ownership, CHGOBJOWN works just
fine. Its straight forward and intuitive. Simply place the user profile
name in the command for the prompt of the new owner

Now if I need to change the ownership of a spool file from the OVRPRTF
command there is a parameter value SPLFOWN.
Can I place a user profile here? Nope. The help text reads:

*CURUSRPRF
    The spooled file is owned by the current user profile.
    If the job has switched (see API QWTSETP) to a new
    user profile, the new user profile is the owner of the
    spooled file.

So I have to run an API to change the entire job from the current user
profile to the desired profile. Run the OVRPRTF and then change the job
ownership back to the original profile?

Has anyone done this sort of thing recently, and would this be the right
technique for implementing a change of ownership in a spool file.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Regards,
Erick
