RE: Re-creating a spool-file using USERSPACE

Dick,
We had a need for this many years ago.
There was requirement to regenerate spool files for various reasons.
I created an outq with a data queue attached.
A CLP reads the data queue entries which includes the user who created them.
The user profile swap APIs are then called to swap to the usewho created the spoolfile. After the step that regenerates the spoolfile the user profile is swapped back again and so on and so forth.

This won't do, as we have to re-create the spoolfile with different
user....

Re: Re-creating a spool-file using USERSPACE






you can set the file two other ways, you can setup the appropriate
directory entries and SNDNETSPLF or you can use the LPAR(SNDTCPSPLF)
command to send them to LOCALHOST.

the spoolfiles sent using SNDNETSPLF endup in the default outq for the
user defined in TOUSRID()


SNDNETSPLF FILE(QSYSPRT)
TOUSRID((USERNAME ADDRESS))
JOB(JOBNBR/JOBUSER/JOBNAME)
SPLNBR(*LAST)
DTAFMT(*ALLDATA) <== very important

LPR RMTSYS(LOCALHOST)
PRTQ('qgpl/qprint')
FILE(QSYSPRT)
JOB(JOBNBR/JOBUSER/JOBNAME)
SPLNBR(*LAST)
DESTTYP(*AS400)
TRANSFORM(*NO)

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.... .
