iSeries Objects APIs for iSeries Access for Windows

iSeries™ Objects for iSeries Access for Windows® application programming interfaces (APIs) allow you to work with iSeries print-related objects. These APIs make it possible to work with iSeries spooled files, writer jobs, output queues, printers, and more.

By using iSeries Objects APIs, you can write workstation applications that are customized for the user's environment. For example, you can write an application to manage spooled files for a single user, or for all users across a network of iSeries servers. This includes holding, releasing, changing attributes of, deleting, sending, retrieving and answering messages for the spooled files.
