Under HPO we used the tag to pass information concerning print files. This tag info was also accessible from service machines with class D authorization. Under XA though this info can be obtained only if you transfer the spool file to a service machine Q, which changes its spoolid too. We don't want this. As a circumvention I wrote an exec to create an extra punch file with any print file, but this doesn't work that nicely. What you would like is is something like 'cp q tag file '. Would there be something like that around? Marieke Tiecke Academic Computing Services Amsterdam The Netherlands
