compare printer files

[os400]

I have a need to compare printer files from 2 iSeries boxes. I'm looking at a hundred or more printer files. Is there a way to do this? There is no *outfile parameter that i'm aware of.


TIA

I am assuming you are trying to compare iSeries objects of type *FILE and attribute *PRTF vs. spooled output sitting in an output queue.
The following command will create a file of *PRTF attributes:

DSPFD FILE(*ALL/*ALL) TYPE(*SPOOL) OUTPUT(*OUTFILE) FILEATR(*PRTF) OUTFILE(QTEMP/PRTF01)

The TYPE parameter may need to be changed depending on the information needed (unfortunately, *ALL is not an option for OUTPUT(*OUTPUT). Hope this is what you are looking for.
And, assuming you can get the generatd file to one of the two boxes, you should be able to do a CMPPFM command to compare the two systems.
