Setting up WinSpool 95 or WinSpool 98 to create a job log after each download for troubleshooting

 

Problem:

Solution:

1. Make sure WinSpool/400 is not running.
2. Open the appropriate INI file with a text editor, such as Windows Notepad:
   • For WinSpool 95, the INI file is WINSPL32.INI.
   • For WinSpool 98, the INI file is WINSPL98.INI.
3. Under [Settings], add a new line DSPJOBLOG=1.

   For example:

   [Settings]
   DSPJOBLOG=1

4. Save the INI file. 
5. Start WinSpool/400 and download a report.
6. When an error occurs, click through any error messages.
7. On the AS/400, search for the job log print file that was created by the user ID you used in steps 5-6. The spool file name is QPJOBLOG.

   Use this job log to troubleshoot WinSpool/400.
