Is it a large spool file? I had the similar problem when I played around with my php-wrksplf and changed it to use the toolkit.

I had to change the "plugsize" to a larger value.

Look toward the bottom.

Folks: In the following code (PHP), we are attempting to pull in a
spool file into the variable $result so we can format it and put it up
on a web page. If we run the command via the PHP code we get a null in
$result. If we run the command ( signed on as the same user ) from the
command line it works.

QSH CMD('catsplf -j 026555/KATTANASIO/H512D QPJOBLOG 2')

I checked to see if the user profile had *SPLCTL and it does.

Any Idea what might be going on?

$spoolNumber, $fileName = '', $connection = null)

compatibility.
$connection->logThis("Spool file number value '$spoolNumber' is
unsupported. Please supply a number. The value '1' will be used.");
$spoolNumber = 1;
