Re: Spooled File Filter to specific Output Queue

There is a problem with the Output Queue name filtering in Spool File
Filters.
It has no effect on the filtering, and all output queues are included.

(This is especially bad if you specify all users and intended only to
filter on the outq name; since it then takes a lot longer to download a
list of ALL the spool files on the system.)
One can specify an Output Queue name ( or library); but any value there is
ignored

I'll get this fixed for the next update or release.
For now, don't rely on this setting to do any filtering.

( Note that the Spool File support is not "officially" a part of the
product. It's done on my own time and hasn't been properly tested.
And I just noticed I call it "Outut queue" on the dialog (:-)


I'm on RSE Version 8.0.3, and trying to set up a new Spool File filter
to go to a specific OutQ, and it doesn't seem to be filtering on that
OutQ. I get all the reports generated by me (*current) user, but I'd
like to set up a filter for each specific OutQ I send reports to. I've
gone into the Change Job Filter and specified the OutQ name, but it
doesn't filter it by that OutQ. When I try putting in the OutQ Name and
the OutQ Library, it replaces the OutQ name with the library field???

Any specific OutQ filter name that I put in results in finding all the
reports I've generated in all Output Queue's.


Thank You for bringing this to my attention.
