MOVE
The
MOVE
command moves one or more spool files to a remote node. When the command is first
executed, NBSpool will contact the remote computer and establish a connection. Any subsequent
access to that node will not require an additional connection. This command may be stopped at any
time by pressing
Ctrl+y
. If a move is in process, the unfinished remote copy will be purged.
The
MOVE
command looks at the
SPSAVE
flag and places spool files into the
SPSAVE
state after
moving them if you have enabled the following
SET
option:
O> SET SPSAVE=T
Note. This flag is not a global flag. It must be set at the beginning of each NBSpool
session.
If NBSpool is running in a NetBase environment, a remote session to the node receiving the spool
file is not required since NetBase will automatically handle the transfer. The node name or node
number used in the command should be consistent with the node names or numbers used in the
NetBase configuration.
If NetBase is not installed, the RPM service of
NS
will be used to create the
NBSPOOLT
process on
the remote computer. A
DSLINE
command is required to specify the destination node. Programmatic
logons are supported if the
LOGON=
parameter is specified in the
DSLINE
command and a remote
session does not exist in the environment.
The
MOVE
command differs from the
COPY
command in that the original spool file will be purged
upon successful completion of the copy. The new spool files will have their job/session numbers
changed to include an apostrophe, for example
#J’101
.
If the
NEWTIME
parameter is specified, the remote spool files will have a creation date/time of the
current time. This allows the user to order the spool files for printing on systems with the native
mode spooler, since the
NMS
prints in creation sequence within a priority.
If a spool file is to be transferred to an HP-UX computer, the
DEST
or
HPUX
parameter must be
specified. Note that the
OUTPRI
and
COPIES
parameters are translated to the UNIX equivalents.
Other parameters affecting the destination spool file are not applicable. This feature requires the
HP-UX option to be purchased.
