RE: splitting a spool file

Mark,

Yes, I know that mechanism but " Because of performance and time limits, it
should be done with APIs"

Thanks

Szymon,

If it's an *SCS format spool file it's pretty easy to copy it to a PF via
CPYSPLF. Then split it at any boundary you wish.

Have you considered it to copy the SPLF to a folder on the IFS as text

Hi All,

I have a spool file which is too large to be handled by DSPSPLF command.
There is no possibility to change the "creation process" of a spool
file so the idea is to split created spool into several smaller ones.
Because of performance and time limits, it should be done
automatically with APIs .

I am able to use QSPGETSP API to retrieve data from the existing
spool and then use it as a source to QSPPUTSP API as long as it is
the same, newly created spool (first new).
When I try to put the next data packet to the next spool (second
new), it seems to be corrupted.
It is probably the way the buffer data (format SPFR0200) should be
altered before it could be put with the QSPPUSP, but I cannot figure
out what changes have to be made.

Any idea what I should check or maybe someone had similar problems
(or has an example how to do it ) ?

Kind regards
Szymon Nawrocki
