My thanks to everyone for your replies.  They were quite enlightening on all
the different ways to find a particular spool file!

Actually what I was after is a bit more complicated than what I
communicated.  I would like to find the $STDLIST for a job by jobname and
then be able to scan the spool file for a particular string.  Finding the
spool file is easy enough but how can I grab the DFID and use it in
something like grep?  Also, since the $STDLIST will likely be open by a
running job will accessing it be a problem?

where <jobname is the jobname on the job card (ex: fredj,mgr.acct =>
<jobname> = fredj )

:mpex
%listf @.out.hpspool(spool.jsname="<jobname>")

or

:listspf;seleq=[(jobname=<jobname>)]
