NBSpool for MPE Reference Guide
NBSpool Output Commands
3-21
If you are sending copies via LPR/LPD, the destination can be followed by an option string that will
be sent to the remote system. The option string must be in the following format:
“dest -option1 [ -option2[...]]”
For example:
lj -olandscape -tHello.
To alter the printing characteristics of a spool file destined for a NetWare printer, the
PRINTER
parameter can be used. As with the
PRINT
command, various control strings can be specified, as
well as paging control. Turn to the “Running PRINTDEF” section in this chapter for more
information.
On some slow network links, it is possible that a
COPY
command will continually encounter errors.
These errors can be reduced by adjusting the size of the spool file transfer packets. By setting the
JCW
SPOOLPACKET
to
1024
or any multiple of
1024
up to
8192
, these errors can be eliminated. Set
this JCW before entering NBSpool.
COPY Syntax
Turn to the “MOVE” section in this chapter for the syntax of this command. The
MOVE
and
COPY
commands have the same syntax with one exception: the
COPY
command has an additional
NEWPRI
parameter valid for all types of
COPY
operations.
O> COPY [subset] TO destination [;NEWPRI=newpri]
[;... ]
[;RETRY ]
[;RETRYDELAY=seconds ]
User Tip. This command may be abbreviated to
CO
