VISTA Plus for MPE Administrator's Guide

NBSpool Commands
3-11
Outpri
This parameter specifies the output priority to assign to spool files that have
been captured with the VSAVE command.
Lines
This parameter assigns a default number of lines per page to reports in a
folder. You do not need to specify this option when reports contain form
feeds. The default number of lines per page is 60.
Printername
This parameter specifies a default printer definition name defined by the
PRINTDEF program. This allows default information to be overwritten
such as lines per page, perforation control, etc.
reportdesc
This parameter specifies a 1 to 48 character string that can be displayed to
help identify a report. Each report can have a different description.
firstrec
This parameter specifies the first record of the spool file that will be saved.
All previous records are ignored.
APPEND This parameter appends the spool files to an existing folder. If APPEND is
specified but the folder does not exist, VISTA will create it.
ASK This parameter prompts the user at each file for a Y/N/Q response. A
HELP ASK entry has been added for more information.
FFSCAN=ffdelim
This parameter scans for form feed characters to determine page breaks.
INDEX
This parameter tells NBSpool to index reports after saving the spool files.
NOCOMP
This parameter disables compression.
NOSTRIP The VSAVE command strips all lines in front of a spool file that contain
PCL forms information. If the NOSTRIP parameter is specified, the
VSAVE command will leave the escape sequences in.
OVERSTRIKE
This parameter determines if VISTA will treat overstrike lines as separate
display lines or not. If set to Y, overstriked lines will show as separate
display lines.
PURGE
This parameter purges all captured spool files when a folder is successfully
created and closed.
RELEASE
This parameter creates a folder file with read any access. By default, folder
files can only be read by the creator or by system managers.
