Hey that is actually on my list of things to do.  I am looking at writing a
utility to create a spool file and the user can download it in whatever
format they want - .xls, .txt, .pdf, .doc, etc.

Are you converting it to PDF yourself or are you using third party software
to do that?

hey all,

I'm drawing a blank here, and I can't find anything in the archives.

I need to retrieve the fully qualified job name and number of a spool file
generated by a cgi pgm using http classic server  (v4r5).

Why don't spool files created by the cgi appear under the same job as the
cgi?

my cgi program is creating the spool file just dandy, but it is classifying
it under a different job.

i.e. my cgi req proc job name might be:

Job:   DEFAULT
User:   QTMHHTTP
Number: 310549

but the spool file appears under:

Job:   QPRTJOB
User:    QTMHHTP1
Number:  310550

I'm trying to convert the spool file to a pdf for display, and I need the
job name/number.

As always, thanks a bunch.

Rick
