Command List VII
Commands MOUNT thru OUTFENCE
IF or WHILE block read by the Command Interpreter increments the nesting count even if
it resides within a
different UDC. It is especially important to remember this when
using the
recursion option which may make it easy to increment the nesting count
beyond 30.
Use
This command is available in a session, job, program, or in BREAK. Pressing
Break has no
effect on this command.
Example

command file, enter:

OUTFENCE
Defines the minimum priority that an output spoolfile needs in order to be printed. (Native
Mode)
Syntax
OUTFENCE
outputpriority [;LDEV= ldev ] [;DEV= { ldevdevclassdevname }]
Parameter
outputpriority A number between 1 and 14, inclusive. A larger number is more
limiting.
ldev The logical device number of an output device.
devclass A device class containing at least one output spoolable device. The
devclass parameter must begin with a letter and consist of eight or fewer
alphanumeric characters.
devname The name of the spooled device. The devname parameter must begin with a
letter and consist of eight or fewer alphanumeric characters. Note that it is
not possible to have a device class name and a device name that are the
same. If you enter an alphanumeric character string, the command
searches the device class list first, and then the device name list.
Operation Notes
This command controls the processing of all output spoolfiles by establishing a numerical
limit (or fence) that, along with each spoolfile's
outputpriority , determines whether a file
is printed or not. Individual output spoolfiles that are in the READY state are printed only if
their
outputpriority is higher than the current outfence. To prevent any spoolfiles from
