Dist distcode
specifies the distribution code to be assigned to the resulting spool file. The
distcode variable is a one- to eight-character alphanumeric identifier that
appears on the output printer/punch separator.
Dist OFF
Dist *
resets the distribution code for the resulting spool file to the default specified in
the system directory for your user ID.
userid
* directs the spool file from the device to the virtual machine specified by userid.
Specify an asterisk (*) if you want to direct the file to your own virtual machine.
EOF
closes the spool file on the specified device regardless of the cont setting for
the device. This option is not meaningful for a reader, it will be accepted but
ignored.
FCB name
FCB 6
FCB 8
FCB 10
FCB 12
specifies the forms control buffer to be used when printing the file on a 3800
printer. The name variable is the one- to four-character name of an FCB image,
or the number 6, 8, 10, or 12. This number tells the 3800 to print the entire
spool file at 6, 8, 10, or 12 lines per inch, regardless of the size of the paper
that is currently loaded. Note, however, that FCB 10 prints only on a 3800
Model 3 printer.
FCB OFF
resets the FCB parameter. Blanks are inserted into the FCB name field of the
spool file and, when the file is printed on a 3800 printer, a default FCB controls
the vertical spacing of the output text.
FLash name ALL
FLash name nnn
signifies that a form overlay contained in the 3800 printer is to be superimposed
(or flashed) onto the specified number of copies of the output. The name
variable is one to four characters long, and identifies the forms overlay to be
used in the projection. The nnn variable must be in the range of 0 to 255, and
specify that the first nnn copies of output are to be flashed.
For example, if you specify COPY 4 and FLASH name2, the first two copies of
your file are flashed; the last two copies remain unflashed. If ALL is specified,
the flash count always matches the copy count. ALL is the default.
FLash OFF
resets the flash parameters. Blanks are inserted into the flash name field of the
specified spool file, and the count is set to 0.
FORM form
overrides the form name of a spool file. The form variable is one to eight
characters long. If FORM is not given for the CLOSE command, the file created
has a form specified by the last SPOOL command for the device, or a default
name specified during system generation.
FORM OFF
resets the form to the default specified during system generation.
