SET SPx

(SP)

Sets the spool handler for the speciﬁed device or for all spooled devices if no device

is speciﬁed.

Format

SET SPx condition

Condition

ENDPAG=n

ENDPAG=n appends n terminating form feeds to each ﬁle sent to spooled device

x. If x is not speciﬁed, ENDPAG=n appends n terminating form feeds to ﬁles

sent to all spooled devices.

SPx ENDPAG=0 suppresses appending terminating form feeds to each ﬁle sent

to spooled device x. If x is not speciﬁed, ENDPAG=0 suppresses appending

terminating form feeds to ﬁles sent to all spooled devices.

You can generate end-page support without ﬂag-page support. To do so,

include the new SYSGEN conditional SP$EPS=1 to support end pages without

necessarily supporting ﬂag pages, when you generate your version of the

operating system.

FLAG=n

Speciﬁes the number of ﬂag pages to be preﬁxed to each ﬁle sent to spooled device

x. If x is not speciﬁed, SET FLAG causes n ﬂag pages to be preﬁxed to all spooled

devices. For RT–11 V5.6, up to six ﬂag pages can be speciﬁed for n.

PRINT/FLAGPAGE:n, when a value is speciﬁed for n, overrides this setting. The

default for n is 2.

[NO]FORM0

FORM0 issues a form feed on spooled device x each time SPOOL encounters

block 0 of a ﬁle to be printed. If x is not speciﬁed, SET FORM0 issues a form

feed on all spooled devices each time SPOOL encounters block 0 of a ﬁle to be

printed.

NOFORM0, the default, turns off FORM0 mode for spooled device x. If x is not

speciﬁed, SET NOFORM0 turns off FORM0 for all spooled devices.

KILL

Aborts output to the x spooled device. If x is not speciﬁed, SET KILL aborts

output to all spooled devices.
