I'd suggest one of two api's, either

Open List of Spooled Files (QGYOLSPL)

Do NOT blow over "API Concepts".

I'd send you a sample but we use so many includes here that it's not 
really portable.  Besides, doing it from scratch will drill in a hard 
lesson.  Besides, it sounds like now you have the time...

The data queue option is cool, but there's a lot of restrictions as to 
what get's written on the data queue, like if the spool file is on hold, 
etc.

And, how the blazes are you going to put a spool file number in a control 
file????  I can see using spool file name, job name, even user defined 
data, but spool file number?
