Spool Files attributes in a outq

Hi,

I am trying to get the attributes of all the spool files sent to a specific OUTQ after my batch process stored into a physical file , usually i will do it manually by searching and copying the spool file to a PF before i would FTP the file to my PC. But i would like to automated the process since the number of spool files has been growing.

Basically i would like to get the

1.Spooled file
2.Job name
3.User name
4.Job number
5.Spool file number

Is the such a command i can use or do i have to write a CL program to do this ?

Hi anuar8080,

An other (more complex) option, is a DataQue connected to the Outq(s)
you can get info from this dataq with API QRCVDTAQ.

see example IBM manual:

Good Luck,

Please clarify. First, you said:

> ...get the attributes of all the spool files...

And then you said:

> ...copying the spool file to a PF

Do you want the attributes? Or do you want the contents? Those are two different things. It seems that you want the contents.

Hi anuar808

It's clear to me, you need the attributes to be able to store the contents,
So the WRKOUTQ is the right approach.
