Hi Chris

If you want to look at an RPG solution, there's my WRKUSROUTQ utility that 
uses APIs to get lists of output queues (QSPROUTQ) and spooled files 
(QUSLSPL). It should give a few ideas on how to reach your goal. Download 
the source code from http://www.dbg400.net/usroutq.html and have a look 
at DBG186R4 for getting a list of *OUTQs and DBG188R4 for the spool 
files.

It is possible to do a lot of it in CL, though not necessarily easy. Tom 
Liotta has written a number of CL routines and command wrappers for 
dealing with user spaces (that you need for the list APIs) that would 
simplify the task - http://zap.to/tl400
