Try:

	:print ONNNN.OUT.HPSPOOL;START=-nnnn

where ONNNN is the spoolfile id and nnnn is the number of record you
want to see counting from the end of the file.

Subject: [HP3000-L] tail on a stdlist

We have a job that fields transactions sent to a data set, and updates
them, logging msgs that can be useful sometimes. I have tried to use
tail -f in posix on the outspool, but I get a 'permission denied' msg. I
am not the user in the job, but  even logged on as manager.sys I get the
same error.
Anybody know a way to make this work please?

tks
