Robert:

I the program can be slightly modified, then I would suggest creating a 
message file as a conduit to the application.  The program would do a 
read of the message file with the nowait option every once and awhile.  
If the application encounters a keyword indicating a new spoolfile, then 
the program would close the spoolfile and reopen it.

An alternate method would involve the application being modified to 
close and open the file at a particular day and time during the week.
