FILE(QSYSPRT)

JOB(*)

SPLNBR(*LAST) APPIDPARM(‘MY ID’) OUTQ(DIAG)

This will process the last QSYSPRT spooled file for the current job, calling the program BPSAMP in library LIB1 for every page in this spooled file.

Keyword DTAPARM describes where to find the values for parameters DATA01-DATA10 (see PageBuilder program parameters below) which are passed to program BPSAMP.

(‘INVOICE NO’ 10 10 1 80 51 51) = specification of DATA01.

Value will be ‘INVOICE NO’ (or blank if not found in line 1-80 position 51). Length = 10 characters.

Length = 10 characters, when returned from the program BPSAMP,

(*ANY 9 9 11 11 12 12) = specification of DATA02. *ANY indicate whatever found (in line 11 position 12). Pass 9 characters to program BPSAMP

Return 9 characters from program BPSAMP.

G NOTE G

The DATA01-DATA10 parameters can be used for searching for a specific text in the spooled file. Note however that they return/find only the FIRST occurrence on the page.

The Convert PCL Spooled File Command

The APF3812/CVTPCLSPLF command converts a PCL spool file to a SCS spool file. This command has been created mainly for converting J.D. Edwards OneWorld spool files to SCS, making it possible to merge the spool file in InterForm400®.
