Hi:

At every month end I would like to collect the information of a spool.
Every Spool has more then one job, below is the individual job information, I really want to collect into a text file.

Sp-id Proc User Printer Id Pty Form Copy Total
SP7494 MONTHEND SYED R123 P2 1 WIDE 3 105
SP8960 JWEEKLY BILL R456 P5 1 0001 2 1896

I have tried ulpview (view spool file) but it displays all the information in a file. I don’t want to store the file. But I would like to have the spool id, procedure name, user, printer etc, information into text file.


Any one can give me the idea to solve the problem.

Thanks

Try posting your OS and version. The 'ulpview' command you mentioned isn't found on a search.

Also look at pulling the information and using the cut command (or similar) to get the columns you do want.

AIX 4.x But the ulpview command is from unibol.

Page: 1 Work With Spool Jobs CA
Cmd Keys: 5-Select 14-Next segment 15-Update 16-Restart 17-Last page

Opt Sp-id Proc Job User Printer ID Prty Form Copy Total Wrt
SP8960 MONTHEND CA194024 SYED R344WS P2 1H WIDE 3 1
SP8962 MONTHEND CA194027 SYED R344WD P2 1H WIDE 2 1896

Unibol ulpview command can display the above information + the data inside the individual file.

The only think I am looking is the above red highlited info in a text file.


Thanks









Ready for command or procedure

AIX 4.3

Sp-id Proc Job Printer ID Form
SP8960 MONTHEND R344WS P2 WIDE
SP8962 MONTHEND R344WD P2 WIDE
SP3455 J5A421 R5a421 PC 0001

Above is the spool display, which has more then 1 file.
What i really want to do is to copy the contact of a display into a text file. I really do not need the data, but the Sp-id, Proc Job, Printer, ID, Form, into a text file.


Thanks
