SPOOLFILE Statement—Specify the Full Path to the Spool File

The SPOOLFILE statement specifies the information about a Remote Execution job’s spool file. This statement is used to specify a location other than the default spool file location to send the output data of the job.

Supported Job Type

This statement is optional for the Remote Execution job type.

Syntax

SPOOLFILE spool

spool

Specifies the full path to the spool file.

Limits: 256 characters; case-sensitive and can contain any characters

Notes:

• If the statement is not given, the default location is assumed.
• If a SPOOLFILE is specified, it overwrites a previous file with the same name. The only exception is when the name starts with >>, which causes the appending of the data to the end of the file instead.
• If delimiters are used, place the operand in single quotes.
• If an operand with delimiters has a single quote, double it.

Example: Specify a SPOOLFILE Path

This example specifies the >>/tmpspool3 path to the spool file. Because the name starts the >>, the file is appended.
