NBSpool for MPE Reference Guide

Chapter 5

Below is a sample job that can be used to start the spooler control process and the individual
spooler command files:
!JOB NBSPJOB,MGR.NETBASE
!RUN NBSPOOL.PUB.NETBASE
START SPOOLING
SPOOLER MYLJ;START
EXIT
!EOJ
Notes
• Altering a spool file with MPE/iX’s
SPOOLF or ALTSPOOLFILE, will not trigger the background
process. The
NBSPOOL ALTER command triggers the background process.
• Command files created in
SPOOLCMD.NETBASE must be kept unnumbered.
• Once the
START SPOOLING command has been issued, the file SPOOLXL.PUB.NETBASE will be
loaded. It does not get unloaded until the system is rebooted or until the NetBase job is aborted.
• Stopping all the spooler processes may be done within NBSpool via the
SPOOLER @;STOP
command.
