This video explains the use of the command:

 

 

State the output from where you want to select the spooled file to be edited, and on what output queue you want to create the edited spooled file.

 

The parameters are:

 

Input spooled file

The name of the input spooled file. With *SELECT all spooled files on the FROMOUTQ are listed, and you can select the input spooled file with option 1=Select. The use of *SELECT is recommended for most use - refer to Input output queue below.

 

Job name/user/Jobnumber

The ID of the job, that created the spooled file. * indicates the current job.

 

Spooled file number

The spooled file number - part of the identification of the spooled file. *ONLY indicates that only a single spooled file with the specified name was created by the specified job. *LAST tells InterForm400 to pick the last spooled file generated by the specified job.

 

Job system name

The system on which the spooled file was created. This is optional and only required, if there are multiple spooled files with the same ID.

 

Spooled file created

The date and time when the spooled file was created. This is optional and only required, if there are multiple spooled files with the same ID.

 

Input output queue

If you select *SELECT as the input spooled file, then the spooled files on this input output queue are listed, and you can select spooled file with option 1=Select.

 

After selecting the spooled file with you enter an editor (EDTF), where you can change the contents as you please.

 

The editor looks like this:

 

 

Edit File: /APF3812Home/Work/APFEDTPRTW.042365

You can use various commands in the CMD column, and you can e.g. force a page break by copying the top line /SKIP 1  SIDE 0001 ========= to insert a page break.

 

When done with the editing just press F3. The new, edited spooled file is named EDTPRT.
