RE: Change owner of spooled files

This is what I do.  

I do not use the dataq option on the outq.  I have an environment variable the adds to a dataq when ANY spool file is created.
Spool files only exist on the system for a minute or so.  PDF's take up 10% of the space of spool files.

If a user creates a Query report it is copied as a PDF and emailed to them. A copy is kept so we know what people are using query for.

I use the SPOOLFELX product to create the pdf and email though there are other ways to do that.

Just a thought, 

If your spooled files are not that large and you do not have a large number of spooled files and you do not have too many users ,, ...

Have you considered transforming the spooled file into a PDF format and email the PDF to the users that have read access in that way you can remove the original spooled file from the *OUTQ and the PDF from the IFS The PDF files can be secured by the receiving user with a password protection.

I hope this helps

Subject: Change owner of spooled files

Hello

I want to change the owner of all spooled files, that are placed in a specific outq. I know the attribute DTAQ of the outq, but the dataqueue here is only filled, if the status of the spooled file is RDY. I want to act on spooled files with status HLD too. I change the owner with APIs.

I want to restrict the access to the spooled files in the outq to very few users. The original owners shall not be permitted to access the spooled files or change their the attributes.

Any ideas?

Best regards

Jan
