Chapter 12 - List Spooled File Attributes (SPLATT)

The SPLATT command allows you to create a physical file that contains information used to identify spooled files on your system. This file can then be processed by one of your own applications and used to perform taksts on the spooled files that are identified in this physical file.

The file layout of the physical file that is created can is as follows:

The file that is created can be named anything you wish, and placed in any library that you wish, as long as it is not named SPLATTPF and placed in the SPLTOOL library. The file named SPLATTPF must remain in your SPLTOOL library and is used as a template to create your file.

The SPLATT command is very similar to the SPLTOOL batch commands and allows you to select spooled files based on one of many selection criteria.
