Maybe this will help. We use this script all the time in automated processes
to automate the handling of spoolfiles for jobs whose job cards are the
same, but are streamed by different users. XEQ it with a spoolfile OID, and
it will set a CIVar for you with the job card of the user that streamed the
job.
