The TAG info is only available to the machine OWNING the file in XA as well as
SP or HPO (unless this has changed in HPO5 or you have some local mods). It is
true that with  XA every userid has  it's own set of  spoolids associated with
the files  owned by  it and therefore  the spoolid changes  when the  files is
transferred.
I assume the servers  right now simply do a TRANSFER and then  a TAG QU FI. If
the application is  written in REXX you can use  Diag(8,'TRANSFER ...') to get
the new spoolid.
  Newid = Word(Diag(8,'TRANSFER' userid 'P' spoolid '* R'),3)

Hope this helps
