QSPL]----[OUTQ connect point?

[Tim Truax <truax@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello all;
I know that the contents of AS400 spool files is in the QSPL library in
a Physical file with a byte length of 4080.   What\Where is the
connection point between the individual entries on the OUTQ and the data
in the file.  Does anyone know?  It gots to be there somewhere!

PS) Here's what I did to save all AS400 OUTQ contents nightly.  Works
real slick, but it'd be neater if I knew the connection between
QSPL/File & OUTQ entries above.

1)  Use TAATOOL command CVTWRKSPLF command that allows you to place the
WRKSPLF output into a file.
2)  DSPFFD on this file to see where my fields are.
3)  Use a CL program to read (RCVF) this file.
4)  RMVM all members of a resident PF file.
5)  ADDPFM a member to the PF file above that is named 'S'(Spool job
number)(Spool file number)
    also placing more descriptive file field items in the TEXT
description of the PF file member.
6)  Use Jeffs wonderful GETSPLF command to copy every OUTQ entry to its
corresponding file member        location.
7)  At end of the CL, do a DSPFD *MBRLIST to show the file and all the
wonderfully named file members     along with the TEXT description of
the member which has more descriptive OUTQ info in it.
8)  Now this file will be saved each night very nicely.  And if anything
needs restored we use the       command PUTSPLF that will snatch the
exact outq entry from the aptly named PF file member.
