Hi,
I know that this is not a RPG Problem but I need some assistance, and I'll post it any way.
I have a IWS Service that calls a RPG program, this program as a specific "Current User".
In this program I call another one that generates a spool file, this spool file is generated in a QPRTJOB job onwed by the "current user" not in the QUSER job that is actually running.
I looked into some IBM docs and could not find a way to get this job information so I can have access to the spool file.
Doe any one know can I get this job information, I know the job name, job user, but not the job number.
Thanks
João Mendes

Hi João,
You're welcome to post general discussions here in the forum, and if I know the answer and have time, I'll be happy to assist.
What you're referring to is the way IBM i names printouts in a job. For security reasons, when a job switches user profiles in the middle (as opposed when the job started) the spooled file does not go under the same 'job id' as the job name. Instead, it goes used a QPRTJOB jobid with the userid of the user you've swapped to. That way, the spooled file is not viewable by other users besides the 'current user profile', unless they have the needed special authorities to view all jobs spools, of course.
If you want to know what the job info is after you create the spooled file, there's an API named QSPRILSP that will return the details of the last spooled file that was created.
