Re: Data Queues

Bill,

It depends, after putting the spoolfile in SAVE(*YES).

If a job generates many spool files with the same name it will become 
difficult, as the data queue option does not supply the spoolfile number. 
You've only got job name, job user, job number and spool file name in the data 
from the data queue. So you can only process a spoolfile with a spoolfile 
number, or the special values *ONLY (this will fail) or *LAST.

There is an alternative to use the List Spoolfiles-Retrieve Spoolfile 
Attributes-Move Spoolfile API's.
