API Corner: List Spooled Files From an Application
by Shannon O'Donnell

In this article, I will show you how to use the QUSLSPL (List Spooled Files) Print API to display all the spooled files for the current user, from within an application. Why is this something you would want to do? The biggest reason I can think of is security. Most of the time, you would rather not have to grant your users access to a command line interface. However, to allow the users to view their spooled files, you had no other choice. Until now. By using the QUSLSPL API you can now give your users the ability to view their spooled files in the manner you deem most secure, from within their application. They will never need access to a command line again! READ MORE >

 

Avoid Changed Default Values
Hey, Ted:

After we upgraded to V5R3 from V5R2, the size of the logical files on our box appeared to have increased to 56 times their original size.

   Admin Alert: Making OS/400 Automatically FTP to Windows
   by Joe Hertvik

A recurring problem in OS/400 shops is how to use FTP to automatically transfer files between Windows and OS/400. In previous columns, I have provided procedures for automatically FTPing files between a Windows box and an AS/400, iSeries, or i5 box, where Windows controls the transfer. This week I'll modify my previous procedures and explain how to set up an automated OS/400-to-Windows FTP session, with your OS/400 box controlling the transfer. READ MORE >
