NBSpool Commands

VFILE Command Parameters
fileset
This parameter specifies the set of disk files to be saved. The format of this “fileset”
is the same as that used by the MPE LISTF command.
TEMP
This parameter specifies that only files in the temporary domain will be processed.
filename
This parameter specifies the formal file designator of a new folder file. This file
cannot exist before the command is executed unless APPEND is also specified. If
file name is omitted, the name will be ‘Vyymmdd,’ where ‘yymmdd’ is the current
date.
description
This parameter specifies a 1 to 48 byte string used to describe the contents of the
folder. It is used by the VISTA viewer to aid in determining folder contents.
files
This parameter specifies the maximum number of files that can be put into the
folder. The default is the number of files currently qualifying.
sectors
This parameter specifies the maximum size (in sectors) of the folder.
lines
This parameter specifies the number of lines per page that will be assumed for each
file. This must be a value between 4 and 88. The default is 60 lines.
printername
This parameter specifies a one- to eight-character name of a printer definition
defined by the PRINTDEF program. This allows certain default information to be
overridden, such as lines per page, perforation control, etc.
APPEND
This parameter appends the files to an existing folder file.
CCTL
This parameter treats all files in a fileset as if the first byte is carriage control.
FFSCAN
This parameter scans each file for form feed characters to determine page breaks.
INDEX
This parameter tells NBSpool to do indexing for reports after saving the disk files.
PURGE
This parameter purges all captured spool files when the folder is created and closed.
RELEASE
This parameter allows any user to view spool files from the folder file.
