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?
