Commands MOUNT thru OUTFENCE
being printed, set the outfence to 14. To prevent a subset of spoolfiles from printing, set the
outfence higher than the
outputpriority of any spoolfile in the group.
To alter the printing priority of a single file without affecting the entire system, change the
output priority of the specific spoolfile(s) with the ALTSPOOLFILE or SPOOLF command.
Notice that a device-specific outfence takes precedence over the system-wide (global)
outfence, as seen in the example below.
Use
This command may be issued from a session, job, program, or in BREAK. Pressing
Break
has no effect on this command. It is executable only from the console unless distributed to
users with the ALLOW command.
Examples
To defer all output spoolfiles except those waiting to be printed by LDEV 6, which is
usually configured as the system line printer, set the global outfence to 14 and the outfence
of LDEV 6 to 7, as shown below:
OUTFENCE 14
OUTFENCE 7;LDEV=6
To display the new global outputpriority and the outputpriority of logical device 6,
execute the LISTSPF or SHOWOUT command, as in the example below. Note that the
summary statistics at the bottom of the listing immediately reflects the new outfence.
Once any currently ACTIVE spoolfile is finished, no files directed toward a device other than
LDEV 6 can become ACTIVE.
