SPOOL
Responses
¹These are default classes only if a specific class is not part of your entry in
the system directory.
7. You can transfer a spool file to another z/VM user by issuing the SPOOL,
CHANGE, CLOSE, or TRANSFER commands. Use the CHANGE and
TRANSFER commands to transfer already existing files. Use the SPOOL or
CLOSE commands to transfer files that you are in the process of creating, or
files you plan to create. For example, if you want to transfer the printer or
punch files you are creating to another user’s virtual reader, enter spool vdev
to userid rdr, where vdev identifies by number or type your virtual machine
output device, and userid identifies the virtual machine of the receiving user.
Designating a reader, a printer, or a punch is optional; the default designation
is reader. The command defines the user queue to which you are directing the
file.
If you want to print or punch a file for someone else, enter spool vdev for
userid, where vdev identifies by number or type your virtual machine output
device, and userid identifies the virtual machine of the receiving user.
8. When a file changes ownership, as when it is changed to or from another user,
the spoolid number changes also; the new number is obtained from a pool of
numbers available to the file recipient.
Thus, if user SAM transfers his file number 3 to user HARRY, he gets the
response:
RDR 0003 SENT TO HARRY RDR AS 0018
Harry now has the file as file number 18.
9. If you specify options that apply to a 3800 printer, such as COPY(*), FLASH,
MODIFY, FCB, or CHARS, the 3800 printer must be controlled by CP rather
than the print server.
10. If DEST is not specified on a command that sets a DEST value, the current
value is unchanged.
11. If an external security manager is installed on your system, you may not be
authorized to transfer spool files using the TO and FOR options. For additional
information, contact your security administrator.
12. The SPOOL command may not be used to direct files to the RDR queue of a
user with a password of NOLOG. SPOOL may be used to direct files to the
PRT and PUN queues of a user with a password of NOLOG.
