Create Spooled File (QSPCRTSP) API

The Create Spooled File (QSPCRTSP) API is used to create a new spooled file with attributes based on values taken from the spooled file attributes parameter. The field values of the spooled file attributes can be obtained using the Retrieve Spooled File Attributes (QUSRSPLA) API. The fields can also be defined by a user application.

Authorities and Locks

Special Authority

*SPLCTL. This authority is needed if you are creating a spooled file for another user.

Output Queue Authority

*USE

Output Queue Library Authority

*EXECUTE

The API authority is set this way so that system administrators can control the use of this API. This API has security implications because you can create a spooled file from the data of another spooled file.

Required Parameter Group

Spooled file handle

OUTPUT; BINARY(4)

The handle to be used by subsequent put (QSPPUTSP API) and close (QSPCLOSP API) operations to identify the spooled file.

Spooled file attributes

INPUT; CHAR(*)

Attributes returned into the receiver variable by a prior Retrieve Spooled File Attributes (QUSRSPLA) API call with format SPLA0200 specified. These attributes are used to create the new spooled file.

To see the SPLA0200 fields, go to SPLA0200 Format Fields.

Error code

I/O; CHAR(*)

The structure in which to return error information. For the format of the structure, see Error Code Parameter.

Considerations Using the QSPCRTSP API

The following special considerations apply when using the QSPCRTSP API.

System Values

When using the QSPCRTSP API, all system values must be uppercase for i5/OS to recognize them.

New Spooled File Ownership

The spooled file that is created by the QSPCRTSP API is spooled under one of two jobs. The job is determined by the user-name field. If the user name is the current user, it is a part of the user's job and is owned by the user profile that the job was started with.

However, ownership of the new spooled file can be assigned to a different user by specifying a different user profile name in the user-name field. The current user must have *SPLCTL authority to assign the spooled file to another user. When this is done, the new spooled file is by the user specified in the user-name field. The new spooled file is then part of a special system job (QPRTJOB) that is created for each user.

The user profile for the user name must already exist.

New Spooled File Placement

The new spooled file is placed on the output queue specified in the output queue name field. If the output queue is to correspond to the output queue of the user profile, the user application can use the Retrieve User Profile (RTVUSRPRF) command or the Retrieve User Information (QSYRUSRI) API to retrieve the output queue name.

In both cases, the spooled file name is the one contained in the spooled file attributes parameter. The spooled file number is the next sequential one available for the job that the spooled file becomes a part of.

In both cases (if you are in the System/36 environment), the system assigns a new System/36 spooled file identifier and a new internal spooled file identifier.

Many of the fields returned by the Retrieve Spooled File Attributes (QUSRSPLA) are closely interrelated with other fields. Changing these field values can lead to unexpected results.

Error Messages

Error messages can be CPIxxxx or CPFxxxx. Error messages that start with CPI are informational and do not stop the job from running. These messages are stored in the job log.

Error messages that start with CPF cause the job to stop running. These messages are returned to the application program. The form in which they are returned is determined by the error code parameter.

Error checking on the fields includes:

Note: If a default is used, that value is obtained from the device file.

• Length of fields is equal to the length of format SPLA0200.
• Special values for fields

  When a value is specified that is not valid, message CPI33E2 is issued and the field default is used.

• Incorrect values for fields

  When the field specifies a system name and the name is not valid, message CPF33E2 is issued. In the other cases, message CPI33E2 is issued and the default for that field is taken.

• Incorrect combinations of fields

  Message CPF33E2 is issued when the value of one field must correspond to a specific value of another field.

SPLA0200 Format Fields

The following table presents, in the same order, all of the fields of format SPLA0200. It contains the following entries:

Not all SCS or IPDS spooled files are eligible for IPDS pass-through. They may contain special functions that require transform to AFPDS for correct printing. If you specify IPDS pass-through on the printer file, only those spooled files eligible for IPDS pass-through bypass the extra transforms. Those spooled files not eligible for IPDS pass-through will still undergo the transforms to AFPDS and back to IPDS.

IPDS pass-through will not be valid for all PSF/400 supported printers. Any printer (or attachment) that does not support resident fonts cannot support IPDS pass-through. This is because the resident font references in the data stream must be mapped to host fonts that are downloaded to the printer. All IBM IPDS printers, except for the following, can be supported with IPDS pass-through: 3820, 3825, 3827, 3828, 3829, 3831, 3835, 3900-001 and any printer attached using Print Services Facility for the OS/2 distributed print function.
