RE: How to get the job atributes from a submitted job?

Hi Dennis

Not sure if it would fit your situation, but could you use an output queue
with a data queue attached.  When the spool file hits the output queue in
RDY status an entry would be placed on the associated data queue which could
then be received by your program using the QRCVDTAQ API.

For details on attaching data queues to output queues check out Printer
Device Programming Book (SC41-5713)

All the best

Jonathan

Subject: How to get the job atributes from a submitted job?

Hi, I'm having a problem copying a spool file because the program I'm
running calls another program that actually creates the spool file with a
different job name.
Basically, my program uses QCMDEXC to call a LAWSON command that submits a
job creating the spool file.  I've tried *LAST but it says there's no spool
file for the current job, which is true, so I tried OVRPRTF 
SPLFOWN(*JOB) but then it says there are duplicate jobs found.   I also 
tried the QUSRJOBI api but that doesn't help because you need the qualified
job name.  Can anyone think of a way to grab the spool file from a job
within a job?  Thanks!
