RE: Sorting spooled files

..Found it....

Go to the infocenter, click to expand "Printing", then "Basic Printing", then 
"Concepts", then "Spooled files and output queues", and then expand "Data queue 
support". 

It's not all that obvious how to get to it..

You'll have to dig around for the format in the data queue, I couldn't find it 
in a reasonable time, but you'll find it. :) Or just analyze the data queue 
entries inside an RPG debug or something...

Hello!



I have the following problem: An application creates spooled file
'Splf1' and 'Splf2'.



Splf1 is a packing list and Splf2 is a delivery note. These files are
created in batch, so that in the outqueue there is the following
sequence



Splf1

Splf2

Splf1

Splf2

Splf1

Splf2

...

and so on.



Is there any API or tool that enables me to resort the outqueue so that
first all files that are named Splf1 are printed and after that all
files that are named Splf2?



Thanx in advance



Bernd Dworrak
