COZZI - Transmit a SPOOL File (SENDSPLF)

The COZZI - Transmit a SPOOL File (SENDSPLF) command simplifies sending a SPOOL file to another IBM i (AS/400) system over TCP/IP. It is only intended to be used when the remote system is also an IBM i (AS/400) system. Up to 64 remote systems may be specified at a time. The output queue specified on the OUTQ parameter must exist on the remote system(s). A copy of the SPOOL file is sent to each remote system(s) and placed on that OUTQ. If RMTSYS(*LOCAL) is specified, the SENDSPLF command routes the request to the COZTOOLS CPYPRTF command to create a duplicate SPOOL file on the local OUTQ.

Restrictions:

You must have an open/active network connection to send SPOOL files over a TCP/IP connection.

Spooled file name (SPLFNAME)

Specifies the name of the SPOOL file being sent to the remote system.

This is a required parameter.

name: Specify the name of SPOOL file that you want to send to the remote system.
*LAST: The SPOOL file whose name was the most recently created (last) SPOOL file is used as the SPOOL file name.

Job name (JOB)

Specifies the qualified job name for the job that created the SPOOL file.

Single values

* or *CURRENT: The current job (the job running the SENDSPLF command) is used.

Spooled file number (SPLNBR)

Specifies the SPOOL file number of the SPOOL file.

*LAST: The last (most recently created) SPOOL file whose name matches the SPLFNAME parameter is sent.
*ONLY: The only SPOOL file whose name matches the SPLFNAME parameter is sent.
*ANY: Any SPOOL file number whose name matches the SPLFNAME parameter is sent. If multiple SPOOL files exist with the same SPLFNAME, it is unknown which SPOOL file will be transmitted by the command.

Send to OUTQ (OUTQ)

Specifies the target output queue on the remote system(s) where the SPOOL file is placed.

Send to OUTQ

name: Specify the name of output queue. This output queue must exist on the remote system.

Send to remote system(s) (RMTSYS)

Specifies the systems receiving the copy of the SPOOL file.

You can specify upto 64 values for this parameter.

*LOCAL: The SPOOL file is copied to the output queue specified on the OUTQ parameter on the local system.
IP or host-name: Specify up to 64 remote system names or IP addresses where the SPOOL file will be sent. The output queueu specified on the OUTQ parameter must exist on each of the remote systems specified. If the OUTQ does not exist, the command fails for that system only, and continues with the next system. The remote name or IP can be up to 64 characters in length.

Examples for SENDSPLF

Example 1:

SENDSPLF  SPLFNAME(REPORT) OUTQ(BOB) RMTSYS(CHICAGO NASSAU)

This command copies the SPOOL file named REPORT to the output queue named BOB on remote systems CHICAGO and NASSAU. The original SPOOL file stays where it is.
