RE: Query on Report Generation.

Dear Jonathan,

Thanks for the suggestion,  I checked the directory entry, which does not
listing my user id.  I hope there is some security reason, why that is not
been added.  If possible can you give me a glimpse on Directory Entry and
its purpose of existence. I have no idea about it. 

Thank you once again for the same.

Regards, 
Sriram Srinivasan

Hi Sriram

You can duplicate the report using the SNDNETSPLF command to send the spool
file to the current user and then change the USRDTA parameter accordingly.
The following CLP worked for me:

PGM                                                            
                                                               
DCL        VAR(&USER)   TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(10)                    
DCL        VAR(&SYSTEM) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN( 8)                    
                                                               
RTVJOBA    USER(&USER)                                         
RTVNETA    SYSNAME(&SYSTEM)                                    
                                                               
DSPFD      FILE(SYSP901A) OUTPUT(*PRINT)                       
CHGSPLFA   FILE(QPDSPFD) SPLNBR(*LAST) USRDTA('FIRST')         
                                                               
SNDNETSPLF FILE(QPDSPFD) TOUSRID((&USER &SYSTEM)) SPLNBR(*LAST)
CHGSPLFA   FILE(QPDSPFD) SPLNBR(*LAST) USRDTA('SECOND')        
                                                               
ENDPGM                                                         

This assumes that the user is enrolled in the system directory and that the
second report is for the same user.

Hope it helps

Jonathan

Hi all,

I have a query in Printing A Spool.  I have a CL program which defines the
Outq and UsrDta before calling a RPG program.  

Where in, to get a same output on to a different UsrDta the same set of code
is been repeated(around 10 lines of CL code, like opnqry,  ovrprtf, call and
clof).  I knew by using the posdbf we can skip one step (of selecting
records using opnqryf) on the above said list. But, I wish to know is there
any way by which I can prepare a report (of same output) on a different
usrdta.

Please help me in this regard. 

Thanks & Regards,
Sriram S
