Verifying Spool File Content


Content of a spool file from the job that executed a component can be retrieved by the Read Spool File element. You must define the step name and the dd name of the Read Spool File element. At runtime, the Read Spool File element will automatically know about the jobid from the component execution. Use a Verify element to analyze the content of the spool file after it has been extracted by the Read Spool File element. An example is shown below.

Be aware that each line in a spool file starts with a space that is normally not visible when looking at it through ISPF.
