Note
This function is provided in the SYSTOOLS schema as an example of how spooled file data can be returned by embedding the CPYSPLF CL command in an SQL table function. Similar to other Db2® for i provided tools within SYSTOOLS, the SQL source can be extracted and used as a model for building similar helper functions, or to create a customized version within a user-specified schema.
Services provided in SYSTOOLS have authorization requirements that are determined by the interfaces used to implement the service. To understand the authority requirements, extract the SQL for the service and examine the implementation.
Example
SELECT * FROM TABLE(SYSTOOLS.SPOOLED_FILE_DATA(
JOB_NAME =>'193846/SLROMANO/QPADEV0009',
SPOOLED_FILE_NAME =>'QSYSPRT'))
ORDER BY ORDINAL_POSITION;
