Commands SHOWLOG thru STORE
last complete page that was printed in the spool files's file label extension (FLABX). The
next time the file is selected for printing by any spooler, output resumes at the page saved
in the FLABX.
Because of the large amount of data buffered in the file system and the device, an output
device may continue to print, making it appear as if the DEFER or DEV keyword has not had
any effect. In reality, the spooler stops sending data to the device when the command is
received but must wait until all buffered data has been printed before releasing the spool
file.
Depending on both the content of the data and the amount of buffering, this
may require a significant part of a page or even several pages.
PRINT The PRINT option copies the specified filesets to the HPSPOOL account and
links the new output spool files into the spool queues for printing. It is
especially useful for generating more copies of a spool file in the SPSAVE
state.
If the target device or class information exists in the file label extension,
that device or class is used as the default. The DEV= option may be used to
override this default. If there is no target device in the file label extension
or the device specified is not valid, the DEV= parameter must be specified or
an error message results. The default values of PRI (8) and COPIES (1) may
also be overridden by user-specified parameters.
You must have nonshareable (ND) capability to use the SPOOLF...;PRINT
command. Private files cannot be printed using the PRINT option.
DELETE The DELETE option purges all specified private or nonprivate spool files to
which the user has access from the system.
If a spool file is not in use (opened by a user, or being printed or stored), it
is purged immediately. If it is in use, it is placed in DELPND state. Any
spooler process printing it is notified, and printing stops at that point.
Each of these files is deleted when its last user closes it, except in the case
of STORE, as described below.
NOTE Because of the large amount of data buffered in the file system and the
device, an output device may continue to print, making it appear as if the
DELETE option has not had any effect. In reality, the spooler stops sending
data to the device when the command is received but must wait until all
buffered data has been printed before stopping.
Depending on both the content of the data and the amount of buffering, this
may require a significant part of a page or even several pages.
ldev Specifies the logical device number of the spool file's new destination
device.
If the spool file is in the PRINT state, it is returned to the READY state. It
may immediately enter the PRINT state on
ldev if all requirements are
met.
