Re: Grabbing wrong spool file

[Vern Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Rob, does the backup job swap profiles, esp. to yours? There's a SPLFOWN 
parameter on CRT/OVR/CHGPRTF that defaults to *CURUSRPRF - this can mess 
you up royally. If the profile is swapped (see help for this parameter for 
how), a report gets assigned to the new user and is lost to the job - the 
actual job that creates it is, I think, QPRTJOB (maybe).
