Making a program dynamic

["Wills, Mike N. (TC)" <MNWills@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am going to probe the great minds on this list for some ideas....

I am looking at ways to make a program more dynamic. I have a program that
will monitor outqs for spool files through a dataq and kick off a processing
program. The processing program then runs hard-coded processes based on the
spool file information. Several processes could be the same or similar, but
they could also be very different. So every time I need to add another spool
file, I need to modify this program, recompile and test it. I would like to
try and make this program more dynamic to eliminate this need. Can this be
done either via RPG or Java?

What this processing program does is set up the information I need to create
the file name and path from the job and spool file information in the dataq
for me to make different files that are either located on the IFS or an FTP
server. I would prefer a RPG solution but would also do this in Java.

Thanks for any help,

Mike
