CVTOUTQ        CONVERT WRKOUTQ TO A DATA BASE FILE      TAASPLC

 The Convert Output  Queue command creates  a data base file  OUTQP with
 one  record per  spooled file.   This  allows  you to  automate several
 functions  involving  spooled  files.   The  API  QGYOLSPL  is  used to
 access the information.

 The typical command would be entered as:

    CVTOUTQ    OUTQ(xxxx) OUTLIB(QTEMP)

 The command creates  a file named  OUTQP in QTEMP  with one record  for
 each spooled  file.  You can  then read the  file in a CL  or other HLL
 program.

 Command parameters                                    *CMD
 ------------------

    OUTQ          Specifies  a   qualified  name  for  the  OUTQ  to  be
                  converted.  The default library is *LIBL.

    OUTLIB        The library in  which the file  OUTQP will be  placed.
                  The default  is *LIBL.   If  the OUTQP  file does  not
                  already exist, a library must be specified.

    OUTMBR        The  member of  the OUTQP  file  to be  used.   If the
                  member does not exist,  it is added.   The default  is
                  OUTQP.

    REPLACE       A  *YES/*NO value  for whether  the  member should  be
                  cleared before  writing records into it.   The default
                  is *YES.

    TAAUSE        A  *YES/*NO value  for whether  the command  is called
                  as a sub tool from another TAA command.

                  *NO is  the default  and should be  used when  invoked
                  directly or by a user program.

                  *YES may  be specified  when another TAA  Tool command
                  is the high level interface.
