Usage Notes
rdev
is the real device number.
userid
is the name of the spool file owner.
FILE spoolid
is the spool file number.
RECS nnnn
RECS nnnK
RECS nnnM
is the number of logical records in the spool file. If the number is greater than
9999, the number is shown as nnnK, where K represents the number of lines
rounded to the nearest 1000 records. If the number is greater than 999499, the
number is shown as nnnM, where M represents the number of lines rounded to
the nearest million.
COPY nnn
COPY *nnn
specifies the number of file copies you want printed or punched when the file is
produced.
When the optional asterisk (*) is specified, the 3800 printer prints each page
from the spooled output files nnn times before going on to the next page.
If a file is not spooled to the 3800 printer, the function performed by specifying
the asterisk (*) is ignored, and duplication occurs normally.
SEQ sss
is the sequence number for the file on the printer or punch.
CL c
is the spool file class.
typ
shows the device type that originally produced the spool file. The type can be
RDR, PRT, PUN, CON, DMP, or SYS.
Response 4:
SPOOLID spd1 HAS BEEN CHANGED to spd2
is the response you receive when a converted file is changed to unconverted
status, a new owner, a new queue, or an option that affects the final printing of the
file. CP assigns a new spool ID to the file and marks it as unconverted.
spd1
is the spool ID assigned to the file before it was changed.
spd2
is the new spool ID assigned to the file after it was changed.
1. SET IMSG OFF suppresses informational messages for this command.
CHANGE
2. You can use QUERY RDR/PRT/PUN to determine the attributes of a spool file
before and after you enter the CHANGE command.
3. You can change the status of an active file to HOLD in order to stop
processing a file currently being printed or punched. No other attributes of an
active file may be changed.
