Commands SHOWLOG thru STORE
Printing of a spool file is interrupted only if the newly specified target
ldev , devclass , or devname is different than the previous target ldev ,
devclass , or devname .
devclass Specifies the new destination device class name for the spool file. If the
spool file is in the PRINT state, it is returned to the READY state. It may
immediately enter the PRINT state on a device in
devclass if all
requirements are met.
The
devclass parameter must begin with a letter and consist of eight or
fewer alphanumeric characters. Note that MPE/iX does not allow the same
name to be configured as a device class name and a device name. See the
NOTE accompanying
ldev .
devname Specifies the device name 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
devname if all requirements are met.
Note that this occurs even if
devname is the same as the device currently
printing the file.
The
devname parameter must begin with a letter and consist of eight or
fewer alphanumeric characters. Note that MPE/iX does not allow the same
name to be configured as a device class name and a device name. See the
NOTE accompanying
ldev .
outpri Specifies the output priority of the designated spool files, where 0 is the
lowest and 14 is the highest. Only an OP user or the console can specify an
outpri of 14; other users are limited to 13.
The default is 8 with the PRINT option and no change for the ALTER option.
numcopies Specifies the number of copies of the designated spool files to be printed.
The allowable range is 1 through 65,535. (The comma is for clarity; do not
enter any commas in the actual command.)
The default is 1 for the PRINT option and no change for the ALTER option.
SPSAVE The SPSAVE option specifies that the selected spool files are not to be
deleted after their last copy has printed. Instead they are retained in the
HPSPOOL account in the SPSAVE state until deleted manually. Among other
advantages, this option allows documents to be copied to user file space, to
be reprinted without being reformatted, and so on.
Private spool files may not be saved.
When a file enters the SPSAVE state, its priority is set to 8 and its number
of copies is set to 1. This is so that it will have the proper defaults should it
be printed later.
DEFER The DEFER option changes the spool file's state to DEFER. If it is currently in
the PRINT state, its spooler is notified and printing stops at that point. (See
the note about buffer retention under the DELETE option.) The spool file's
priority remains unchanged. If this option is used with the PRINT option,
the spool file is copied to OUT.HPSPOOL and linked to the spooling
