Thanks for your reply Pete
Someone else just informed me of having the ability to save spool files
when you specify the parameter











SPLFDTA(*ALL)






in SAVOBJ command

If you are on V5R4 or V6R1, you can save your spool files when you backup
your libraries/system.

Subject: Replicating spool files from one AS/400 to another

Hi everyone

Due to a system crash, we are now working off our DR system and we are
looking to go back to using the production system this weekend.
Its been many winters have passed since I last replicated spool files
from
one AS/400 to another
The procedure that I last used was as follows (with thanks to Tim
Granatir,
Search400.com expert):-

On AS/400 that contains the spool file:
Step 1. Create a physical file that is at least
1
character bigger than the size of the spool
file
you wish to replicate.
Step 2. Copy the spool file into your
database
file. Make sure you specify *FCFC for the
control
character parameter.
Step 3. Transfer this database file to
your
target AS/400 using whatever method you
choose
(FTP, File Transfer, etc.).

On AS/400 that you wish to print:

Step 4. Override print file to specify
control
character *FCFC.
Step 5. Copy your database file to the
spool
file.

Your print file is now duplicated on your
target
AS/400.

Example Commands:

CRTPF FILE(MYLIB/FILE133) RCDLEN(133)
CPYSPLF FILE(MYSPLF) TOFILE(MYLIB/FILE133)
JOB
(123456/*N/QPADEV0032) CTLCHAR(*FCFC)

Transfer FILE133 in library MYLIB to your
target
AS/400


OVRPRTF FILE(QSYSPRT) CTLCHAR(*FCFC)
CPYF FROMFILE(MYLIB/FILE133) TOFILE(QSYSPRT)

However, we may have a LARGE number of these spoolf files to migrate
We are presently on V5r4.
Is there a simpler and/or more automated method to achieve this?
Or do I have to cut and paste the spool file attributes (Job, User,
Number,
File and Number) of each and every spool file that needs to be migrated

Thanks in advance
