For jobs actively running, using the ACB/RPL interface, your application attempts to read unwritten spool buffers that reside in the address space of the active job. When all unwritten buffers have been read, the ACB/RPL utilizes the end-of-file exit. Your application can issue subsequent get requests to obtain additional data. On each get request, the ACB/RPL interface returns the unwritten buffer data, if available. Thus, an end of file condition for an active job should be considered temporary rather than permanent. As the active job creates additional data, subsequent get requests can be used to retrieve it. If no more data is available at the time of the get, end of file will be driven.
