to "Operation Notes.") Using the FILES parameter is not allowed on the
HP 2680A Page Printer or an HP 2608S CIPER-Protocol Printer. PAGE is
the literal page (usually 60 lines or skip to channel 1), as output by the
spooler to the printer.
Operation Notes
If you specify only the ldev parameter, the printer resumes printing at the beginning of the
highest-priority spoolfile. Otherwise, the printer resumes printing the previously ACTIVE
spoolfile.
Always overestimate the number of files or pages you need when using the BACK
parameter, or underestimate the number when using the FORWARD parameter. This is the
only way to ensure getting all the output you need, since partial pages and header pages
affect the page count. However, if you instruct the spooler to go BACK further than the
beginning of the file, an error message is displayed on the system console and printing
resumes at the beginning of the file. Similarly, an error message is displayed if you instruct
the spooler to advance FORWARD beyond the point where files exist. In this case, printing
does not resume until a new command is issued.
By using the SPOOK utility with mode control ON, you can determine where each FOPEN
intrinsic occurs within a spoolfile. This is useful, for example, when you are compiling,
preparing, and running large programs, and printing the entire output is unnecessary.
Use
