This extension provides views and tools for listing a user's spooled file and managing them (one at a time).
Current functionality
Has support for:
Listing user spooled files
Adding addition users to view spooled file for in read-only mode
Reading spooled file in editor tab with or without line spacing. OPened spooled files will be downloaded to local %TMP% folder.
Open spooled file in PDF format in edit tab. Requires PDF viewer extension.
Searching through spooled files
Filtering list based on certain criteria in spooled file attribute, like job number.
Sorting spooled file list by name or date in ascending or descending order.
Download spooled file to .TXT, .SPLF or .PDF
Downloading spooled files to local workspace.
Downloading spooled files with added line spacing (text format only).
Delete spooled files by user, specific line, specific name, all matching filter.
Move a spooled file to another output queue.
Tool tip hover for number of spooled files for user
Tool tip hover for spooled file to show extra attributes
Multi-spooled file selections for many actions.
NOTES:
There is a small issue in an IBM view this extension is using, in that if the OUTQ the spooled file is in is too large (100000+ entries for example) some functionality will appear to slow down. I am using the QSYS2.OUTPUT_QUEUE_ENTRIES_BASIC to retrieve the spooled file device type so that the extension can prevent non-*SCS types from being searched or open *AFPDS as PDF types by default. It does not matter if I ask for a details of single spooled file using very specific criteria or the whole set of spooled files in an OUTQ with a enormous number of spooled files.
