RE: I need a DSPJOBSPLF that will output to an *outfile. Ideas?

I wrote a very basic report distribution over a decade ago that we still
use. If you are interested in the code I can sent it to you off-line.

Got a V5R4 system where I've been asked to automate some report
distribution (without the help of third-party tools). The jobs that
generate the spoolfiles in question run many RPGLE programs, so going
through each to override printfile would be onerous.



What I'd like is to be able to write a program that walks through a list
of the spoolfiles, match the spoolfile name and number to a record in a
control file where the appropriate outq, copies, hold/save and duplex
attributes can be found, and then change the spoolfile attributes
accordingly. Getting that list of spoolfiles that can be handled by a
program seems to be my show-stopper.



Our shop is not too busy right now, so they'd prefer I do this in-house
rather than buy a tool.



Can't be the first to need this function, but could find any applicable
hits in the archives.



Thanks,
