Re: Retrieving spooled file information inside an RPG program

[Alan Campin <alan0307d@xxxxxxxxx>]

I created some service programs that wrapper the spool file api's if you
are interested.

I have a short(Runs listing directly) version and a long(Use List api for
long running) version.

Just call functions to set spool attributes you want and call and you get
back a list with all the information.
