NBSpool Output Commands

SHOW
The
SHOW
command provides a listing of a specified spool subset. The three keywords
DATES
,
LINES
and
USERS
cause the display to be formatted in one of three different ways. Once one of these
keywords is specified, all subsequent
SHOW
commands will use the same format until another
format keyword is specified. This command may be interrupted at any time by pressing
Ctrl+y
.
In the
LINES
and
USERS
formats, the state of the spool file is abbreviated to a single character to
leave room for more interesting information. These abbreviations are:
A
Active
C
Create
D
Delpnd
L
Locked
O
Opened
P
Problem
R
Ready
S
Spsave
T
Transfer
W
Defer (waiting)
If a file is currently
TEXT
ed, it will appear with a star (
*
) in front of the file name. The subset
specified in the
SHOW
command is saved for later reuse if so desired. If any command uses
!
as the
spool file subset, the last subset specified in the
SHOW
command will be used.
