Re: Sample Code for OUTQ Processing? / API Confusion

Hi,

API list work like that, you have a header and some detailed infos.
The header is always the same and give you the start position, and the
number of occurences.

You can find a detailled doc here :
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v5r3/index.jsp
(programming, API)

In your case, you will get a list of spools, and for each of them you can
use command like CHGSPLF, DLTSPLF ... and so on very easy.
On our iserie, i get the spool list (about 20 000 spools) in less than 5
secondes. (model 520)

If you wnat some code, i cand send a piece of.

Subject: Sample Code for OUTQ Processing? / API Confusion

   Can anybody point me to some sample code for processing entries in an
   output queue?  Basically, I want to create an RPG program that reads
   through entries in an OUTQ and if certain criteria such as the file

name

   or user data attributes are matched, the spool file will get moved to a
   different OUTQ.

   I'm new to using API's and user spaces.  From the reading that I've

done

   in the midrange.com archives and Scott Klement's web site it looks like
   you use an API to generate a list which returns a pointer to a user

space.

    I believe that I need the QUSLSPL API to generate that list.  Scott

has

   sample code to process a list generated by the List Members API.  If I

am

   understanding this correctly the user space is just like a big flat

file

   and you read through it by incrementing an offset from the starting
   address of the user space.

   Is this how list processing works?
   Am I on the right track?
   Is it time for a vacation?
