Re: Duplicating large spoolfiles (greater than 16m)

Our SPL2SPL (Duplicate Spooled File) software handles the files over 16mb.

It also allows you to change attributes of the new spooled file such as
output queue, owner, form type, user data, etc... etc...

I've tested it on some very large spool files and it works fine. This is
one that got processed this weekend.
Spooled file size (K) . . . . . . . . : 149528

It only reads one buffer at a time, and replaces the userspace every
time. It's slower than doing it 16mb at a time, but most of my jobs
using this are batch, so I'm concerned about over optimizing this
currently.

Hi Kevin,

I had a look on your code... I think that you do not handle spooled
files

16MB... (max size of a single user space)..

The logic would be to use QSPGETSP and store the data in multiple
userspaces (create a new user space if you get CPF3CAA ) then read

all

userspaces and use QSPPUTSP.. to create the new spooled file

I wrote a program to do this some years ago... but unfortunately I am
not authorized to share the source code it as it is not "open

source"...

This comes up every now and then, and several options are always
presented, but I've never been able to find a complete program using

the

API's. Based on something that Tommy Holden posted at

http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:HkiFuHDAUvoJ:iprode

veloper.com/forums/aft/135681+&cd=2&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us I came up

this.

The original post had copied in a spec for SPLA0100 instead of

SPLA0200,

and I also added the ability to change hold and save parameters as we
used those with DUPCHGSPLF which doesn't handle the files greater than
16 megs.



Just adding the below for people searching for a solution:

CPA0702

QSPGETSP

QSPPUTSP
