Re: Re-creating a spool-file using USERSPACE

Dear Dirk:

RTFI (Read The Fine Instructions) or RTFM (Read The Fine Manual) ... :-o

Let me google that for you:
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=qspgetsp

From the InfoCenter, APIs, QSPGETSP ... (second link returned from google search above):

The maximum size of a user space is 16,776,704 bytes. If the data
requested exceeds this maximum size, message CPF3CAA is issued. The
user space contains accurate information for the number of buffers
returned. To continue processing, create another user space and call
the QSPGETSP API again with the new user space. Another alternative
would be to return fewer buffers on each call to the QSPGETSP API.

Hi,
We currently re-create spoolfiles using the following logic and API's (using chgsplf op cpysplf doesn't offer sufficient functionality in our case) :
CrtUsrSpc : Create user space in QTEMP. Call 'QUSCRTUS' CrtSplFil : Create spooled file 2. Call 'QSPCRTSP' OpnSplFil : Open spooled file 1. Call 'QSPOPNSP' GetSplFil : Get data spooled file 1. Call 'QSPGETSP' PutSplFil : Put data in spooled file 2. Call 'QSPPUTSP' CloSplFil : Close spooled file 1 & 2. Call 'QSPCLOSP' DltUsrSpc : Delete user space in QTEMP. Call 'QUSDLTUS'
However, we are facing the following problem : some spoolfiles are larger than 16 MB and since the API's are using userspaces, the re-created spoolfile only contains the first 16MB (hence the resulting spoolfile is incomplete). Is there an alternative for using the userspace API's or a way to make userspaces larger than 16 MB ??? All tips are welcome.... .
