9.203 START_RTV_SPLF_LIST

Note: Built-In Function Rules     Usage Options

Used in conjunction with GET_SPLF_LIST_ENTRY and END_RTV_SPLF_LIST. It must be used first to provide the selection criteria for the retrieval of spool files. The selection criteria which can be specified are User Name, Output queue name and library, Form Type, User Data and Status.

Once this START_RTV_SPLF_LIST has been used to establish the selection, the GET_SPLF_LIST_ENTRY can be used to retrieve the details of the spool files.

The END_RTV_SPLF_LIST must be used after the list of spool files have been retrieved. This will close list and release the storage allocated to that list.

Refer to 9.109 GET_SPLF_LIST_ENTRY for an example.
