Command List XI
Commands SHOWLOG thru STORE
Parameters
ldev The logical device number of the spooled device.
devclass The device class name of the spooled devices. devclass must begin with a
letter and consist of eight or fewer alphanumeric characters.
devname The device name of the spooled device. devname 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.
START OUTPUT SPOOLERS:
The START parameter creates and activates a new spooler process to own
and manage the device and print spool files destined for it. If a class is
specified, then a spooling process is created and activated for each device
in the class. If neither the OPENQ nor the SHUTQ option is specified, OPENQ is
taken as the default.
INPUT SPOOLERS:
The START parameter creates and activates a new spooler process to own
and manage the device, to read data from it, and to create job or data input
spool files for later processing by a CI (job) or user process (data). If a class
is specified, then a spooling process is created and activated for each device
in the class.
STOP OUTPUT SPOOLERS:
The STOP parameter terminates the spooling process associated with the
specified device. If a class is specified, then spooling processes for all
devices in the specified class are terminated. A spooler in the active state
first moves to the STOP pending state (shown as *STOP with the SHOW
option) while it finishes its work on its current file (including any required
trailer). When this is complete, or if the spooler was previously in the idle
state, the spooler displays the following on the console (or the $STDLIST of
an associated user) and terminates. If neither the OPENQ nor the SHUTQ
option is specified, SHUTQ is taken as the default.
Output spooler, LDEV #ldev : Stopped.
You may determine the spooler state at any time by entering the following:
SPOOLER ldev ;SHOW
or
SPOOLER devclass ;SHOW
or
SPOOLER devname ;SHOW
The STOP option is valid only if a spooler is in the ACTIVE, SUSPEND or
IDLE state, or (if accelerating a previous STOP ;FINISH to STOP ;NOW) the
STOP pending (*STOP) state. If neither the NOW nor the FINISH option is
