AS/400 Spoolfile
When we type 'WRKOUTQ (OUTQ Name)' on command prompt and press enter, we get 'Work with Output Queue' screen. This screen contains the different spoolfiles with column headings: Opt, File, User, User Data, Sts, Pages, Copies, Form Type, Pty. How can we change the File name specified in the 'File' column for an individual spoolfile if the spoolfile is generated by a query after running the batch?

Hi,
Once the spooled file is created you <b>cannot</b> change the spooled file name.

Although you can’t change the spool file name after the file has been created, you can change it
before
it’s created via the OVRPRTF command.
