Overview
NBSpool background jobs may contain several different components:
• JCWs to modify NBSpool’s behavior (For a list of available JCWs, turn to the “JCWs for
Network Printing” section in Chapter 7.)
•
RUN NBSPOOL.PUB.NETBASE
•
XEQ command
WHILE command to limit the spool files affected by this XEQ loop
ERROR command defining what the job should do if it encounters an error
NBSpool commands to be performed repeatedly
END command (for WHILE loop)
END command (for XEQ)
Exit NBSpool
The
XEQ command executes a list of commands either once or repetitively. If the REPEAT or the
WAIT parameter is specified, the execution of the command list is implemented as a background
task. Using this type of background job, an additional NBSpool command is useful:
XEQSTOP. This
command allows you to stop individual
XEQ processes, or all processes.
To allow for the stopping of this repeated execution, each NBSpool process using
XEQ repeating is
assigned a process number. This number will be displayed on the console and
$STDLIST, and can be
used with the
XEQSTOP command to stop the background processing.
