Error WINSPOOL/WSPL016 or WSPL021 with WinSpool/400 Report Download

 

Problem:

Solution:

• You may not have special authority on Spool Control. Add this authority.
• The WINSPOOL library may not be installed. To check that the library is installed, run ADDLIBLE WINSPOOL.
• If the error is WinSpool/WSPL016, there may be an output queue in the table entry that does not exist.
• If you are using V5R3:
  • Make sure you have WinSpool/400 version 3.58 or above. 
  • Add a special message named CPFFFFF to the system messages table that fixes an FTP issues in V5R3:
    1. ADDLIBLE WINSPOOL
    2. WSPLADDMS
    3. To check that the CPFFFFF message was created correctly: WRKMSGD MSGID(CPFFFFF)
• Upgrade to V5R3 and get *ALLOBJ authority before using any WinSpool products.
• The library list for user-created libraries may contain outdated copies of OS commands that are being called instead of the current OS commands.

  For example: A V5R3 copy of CRTPF (create physical file) that WinSpool/400 uses in spool-file processing is still in a user library at the top of the library list after you upgrade to V5R4.

  Remove any outdated commands to resolve this problem.
