Using

Keys

with List

Spooled

Files

API—Example

This

topic

introduces

a

new

program

named

LSTSPL. Program

LSTSPL

uses

the

List Spooled Files (QUSLSPL) API to determine the spooled file

name,

date

created,

and

number

of

pages for

all

spooled files

created

by

the

the LSTSPL program. Unlike the earlier

JOBDAPI

program examples,

where

format

JOBD0100

of

the Retrieve Job Description (QWDRJOBD)

API

return

dozens

of

fields

while we were only interested in the HOLD field, t

provides

a

keyed

interface that allows LSTSPL to request that

only

the

fields (spooled file name, date

created,

and

number

of

pages)

be

re

tion

to

providing

a

keyed interface,

QUSLSPL

also

differs

from QWDRJOBD

the

QUSLSPL

API

retrieves

a

list

of

all spooled

files

into

a

User

Spac

while QWDRJOBD retrieves information about one specific job

descriptio

program

variable.

In

the

following

program

example,

all

the

pieces

have

been put

togethe

OPM RPG program that accesses specific information related

to

this

information is created. The program
