I'd try a combination of SPOOLF;SHOW;SELEQ and PRINT > tempfile and
/bin/grep < tempfile to locate, copy and scan (a copy) the spoolfile,
however, given the underlying issue, I'd probably consider to use a
slightly different approach... have the backup job stream a "watchdog"
job before starting the store that wakes up at a point in time that
the backup should not exceed, extracts its "origin job" from the CI
variable HPSTREAMEDBY and perform an ABORTJOB on it. If the backup did
finish in time, this should be a no-op (unless you cycled all the job
numbers by that time and it kills some innocent job) or else abort the
backup job (or at least attempt to do it).

Oh, by the way, even the "find $stdlist by jobname" would not be
needed if you streamed the "scanner" from the backup job itself. It
could even pass HPSPOOLID to the "scanner" job via an auxiliary file
(eg with a simple setvar statement xeq'd by the scanner job) or by
constructing the scanner job with echo statements.

(let me know if you'd like a more detailed example)
