Re: spool files - how to select for email

Hi Joel,

I do that now.

We too have TAATOOLS, and there is a Command MRGSPLF.

I have an OUTQ that I OVRPRTF to and then run the MRGSPLF command. This
creates a SPLF with ALL of the SPLFs in that OUTQ. I then send an email
of the file that is created, MRGOUTPUT to the Users I have selected. Last
step is to Clear this OUTQ.

I will try to Cut/Paste the relevant code here:

/*
/* Send email of Acknowledgements and Error reports
/*

CHGVAR VAR(&SUBJECT) VALUE('EDI Ack/Error Report +
ran on ' *CAT &DATTIM)

MRGSPLF FROMOUTQ(COMLIB/COMOUTQ) TOOUTQ(COMLIB/COMOUTQ)

SNDSPLMAIL FILE(MRGOUTPUT) TRANSFORM(*PDF) +
TOSMTPNAME((nradich@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx)) +
SUBJECT(&SUBJECT)

CLROUTQ OUTQ(COMLIB/COMOUTQ)









Thanx,

Nick

Sent by: midrange-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx



BIGJOB creates 3 different spool files with the same name - CUSTRPT. Today
the spool file numbers happen to be #'s 65,66, and 67.

In my email pgm, I can only select *LAST (which would only send report #
67), or I can select a specific #, such as 65 or 66 or 67. But I don't
know the number.

What is the best way to handle this?

Name each spool file differently? Then I can name the three files
CUSTRPT1, CUSTRPT2, and CUSTRPT3, and select each one.

Or, is there a way to retrieve the *LAST spool file number, and the (*LAST
minus 1) spool file, and (*LAST minus 2) spool file?

Or a better method?

I see an API coming my way. Is there a SIMPLE way to do this - ie not
using an API?

For example, RTVSPLFA (*LAST minus 2) ?? I have TAATOOLS if that helps.

Thanks
