The List Spooled Files (QUSLSPL) API is similar to the Work with Spooled Files (WRKSPLF) command or the Work with Job (WRKJOB OPTION(*SPLF)) command. The API generates a list of spooled files on the system and places the list in a user space. The list can include some of the following:
The generated list replaces any existing information in the user space.
The requester is authorized to the output queue if one or more of the following conditions are met:
The user space that receives the generated list, and the library in which it is located. The first 10 characters contain the user space name, and the second 10 characters contain the library name.
You can use these special values for the library name:
| *CURLIB | The job's current library |
| *LIBL | The library list |
The format of the spooled file information being returned. You must specify the following:
| SPLF0100 | Contains the internal identifiers for the spooled file and the job that owns the spooled file. |
| SPLF0200 | Information that is shown when the list of the spooled files selected is displayed with the Work with Spooled Files (WRKSPLF) command. |
| SPLF0300 | Contains the basic information for the spooled file. Entries returned are taken directly from internal indexes and are not validated against existing spooled file and job structures. Retrieving a list of spooled files using this format is faster than using format SPLF0100 or SPLF0200. |
The name of the user whose spooled files are included in the list. This parameter can be used in conjunction with the output queue and library name, form type, user-specified data, auxiliary storage pool, job system name, starting spooled file create date, starting spooled file create time, ending spooled file create date, and ending spooled file create timeparameters to return a partial list of all the spooled files. The list of spooled files returned is sorted by status, output priority, date, and time. It must be blank if the qualified job name parameter is specified.
A value must be specified if the qualified job name parameter is blank or not specified. Otherwise, message CPF34C6 or CPD34C6 is issued.
The possible special values are:
| *ALL | Files owned by all users |
| *CURRENT | Files owned by the current user |
The name of the output queue whose files are to be included in the list, and the library in which it is located. The first 10 characters contain the output queue name, and the second 10 characters contain the library name. This parameter can be used in conjunction with the user name, form type, user-specified data, auxiliary storage pool, job system name, starting spooled file create date, starting spooled file create time, ending spooled file create date, and ending spooled file create time parameters to return a partial list of all the spooled files. The list of spooled files returned is sorted by status, output priority, date, and time. It must be blank if the qualified job name parameter is specified.
Note: A value must be specified if the qualified job name parameter is blank or not specified. Otherwise, message CPF34C6 or CPD34C6 is issued.
You can use this special value for the output queue name:
| *ALL | Files on all output queues. When you use this value, the library name must be blanks. |
| Output queue name | The name of the output queue. |
You can use these special values for the library name:
| *CURLIB | The job's current library |
| *LIBL | The library list |

The list of spooled files returned is sorted by status, output priority, date, and time. It must be blank if the qualified job name parameter is specified.
The special values supported are:
| *ALL | Files for all form types |
| *STD | Only files that specify the standard form type |
The user-specified data value whose files are to be included in the list. This parameter can be used in conjunction with the user name, qualified output queue name, form type, auxiliary storage pool, job system name, starting spooled file create date, starting spooled file create time, ending spooled file create date, and ending spooled file create time parameters to return a partial list of all the spooled files.

The structure in which to return error information. For the format of the structure, see Error Code Parameter. If this parameter is omitted, diagnostic and escape messages are issued to the application.
The qualified job name of the job whose spooled files are to be included in the list. If the user name, the qualified output queue name, the form type, user-specified data, or auxiliary storage pool is specified, this parameter must be blank. Otherwise, message CPF34C2 is issued. The list of spooled files returned is sorted by spooled file number.
The qualified job name has three parts:

special value:
|
||
| user name | CHAR(10). A specific user profile name, or blank when the job name is asterisk (*). | ||

The spooled file list consists of:
For details about the user area and generic header fields, see User Space Format for List APIs. For details about the remaining items, see the following subtopics. For descriptions of the fields in the list, see Field Descriptions.
When you retrieve list entry information from a user space, you must use the
entry size returned in the generic header as a displacement to the next list
entry. The size of each entry may be padded at the end. If you do not use the
entry size, the result may not be valid.
