PRT
PUnch
PCH
Reader
RDR
closes all reader, printer, punch, or console devices. Once a virtual console
spool file is closed, it becomes a printer spool file and can be manipulated like
any printer spool file.
vdev
identifies the virtual device number of the device to be closed. The device
number may represent a console, reader, printer, or punch. vdev must be a
hexadecimal number between X'0000' and X'FFFF'.
Note: You can specify one or more of these options. If you specify more than one,
you can combine them in any order, except for the NAME option, which must
be specified last.
CHars name
CHars name CHars name
specifies the name of the character set or sets used to print the spool file or
files on a 3800 printer. The name or names must be from one to four characters
long; as many as four names may be specified. You need to use CHARS more
than once only if nameN is the same as an option name (for example, FORM)
or a user ID. If more than one name is specified, and modification is also
specified, the order in which the names appear determines the table used for
copy modification text.
CHars OFF
resets the CHARS parameters. Blanks are inserted into the name fields of the
character sets used for output generation. The spool files, therefore, use a
default character set when actually printed on a 3800 printer.
CLass c
specifies the spool class to be assigned to the file, where c is a 1-character
alphanumeric field from A to Z or 0 to 9.
COpy * nnn
specifies the number of file copies you want printed or punched when the file is
produced. The value of nnn (number of copies) must be a decimal number from
1 to 255. You do not need to specify leading zeros.
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.
DEST dest
overrides the destination value of the spool file. The dest variable is a 1- to
8-character name specifying the output device or devices eligible to process the
file.
DEST ANY
sets the destination value to ANY. This allows the file to be processed on any
CP output device that meets other selection criteria, regardless of the output
device DEST settings.
