Hi James,

Using MPE you can set variables to trap that number:

    LISTSPF O@;SELEQ=[JOBNUM=J!HPJOBNUM AND FILEDES=REPNAME] > LSFILE
    PRINT LSFILE;START=4;END=4 > PRFILE
    INPUT LSREC < PRFILE
    SETVAR LSREC, RTRIM(STR(LSREC,02,10)," ") + ".OUT.HPSPOOL"
    PRINT !LSREC

This example assumes that you want to view the contents of the file, but
by leaving the '.OUT.HPSPOOL' off the SETVAR for LSREC, you could have
the desired DFID number (with the letter 'O' on the beginning).  I use
this type of extraction in several command files on a daily basis, both
in sessions and jobs.

HTH!
