What Get Command Spooled File (GETCMDSPLF) is
The Get Command Spooled File (GETCMDSPLF) command displays an iSeries
spooled file that results from a specified command in an X Window based
editor. The editor windows are scrollable, movable, and sizable. When GETCMDSPLF
is run, it will prompt the user for the command named on the CMD parameter,
this allows the user to specify command parameters. GETCMDSPLF then
appends the parameter "OUTPUT(*PRINT)" to the command and runs the command.
Assuming the command generates a spooled file, that file is then displayed
in the EZ or EMACS editor.
