you have to have the complete job information (Job name, user, and job number) for it to work. i still don't see why anyone would object to wrapping the call to the program in a CL...

Re: How can i retrieve the latest spool file from a job?

the error is that the user and splnbr keywords are returned values and need to be variables and you are passing constants. the routine is to return the last spooled file's number right? then how are you going to retrieve that number if you are passing a constant? you should only have to pass the job info and the spooled file name and the user and last spooled file number will be returned from the command...think of it as a RTV command. ( i should have compiled it to only run in a program call...)
