Subject: RE: [U2] Capturing hold file numbers.

We have used code like the following to capture a print job number
within a program. The SETPTR command must be executed after the PRINTER
ON and at least one line has been printed and before the PRINTER
OFF/CLOSE statement.

We are using UV 9.5.1.1E on an IBM RS6000 AIX system.

PRINTER ON
PRINT ""
EXECUTE "SETPTR",
   OUT > PRINT.INFO
PRINTER OFF
PRINTER CLOSE

PRINT.FILE.INFO = FIELD(PRINT.INFO,'/',2,4)
PRINT.FILE.PATH.NAME = FIELD(PRINT.FILE.INFO,@AM,1)
* Adjust the FIELD statement based on the spoolers path
PRINT.JOB.NUMBER = FIELD(PRINT.FILE.PATH.NAME,'/',4,1)[3,5]

CRT PRINT.JOB.NUMBER

Running the program produces the following output:
Spooler Entry #16719
16719

Hope this helps,
