Class D users can obtain information about all spool files in the system, or spool
files belonging to any user on the system.
Printer
PRT
PUnch
PCH
Reader
RDR
displays the following information about your reader, printer, or punch files:
v The userid of the file creator
v The spool file identification
v The spool file’s class and type of device where originated
v The number of logical records in the file
v The number of copies specified for the file
v The file HOLD, KEEP, and MSG status
v The form name.
USERID
U indicates that the next parameter is a userid. Class G users can specify only an
asterisk (*) following USERID or U. U is the only abbreviation allowed for
USERID.
*
userid
ALTID
identifies the user whose spool files are to be queried. You can specify an
asterisk (*) to query your own files; an asterisk (*) is the default for the class G
user. You can specify ALTID to query files belonging to your alternate user ID.
Class G users cannot specify userid.
Class D users can obtain information about reader, printer, or punch spool files
that are owned by any user of the system by specifying that user’s userid. If
class D users want to obtain a display about their own spool files, they must
enter their own userid or an asterisk (*) on the command line. A class D user
issuing the QUERY command for a one-to-four digit, all numeric userid, will
cause unpredictable results because of the one-to-four digit, all numeric spoolid
parameter.
SYSTEM
allows only the class D user to obtain information about all files in the system,
regardless of ownership. This system is not allowed with the spoolid option.
SYSTEM is the default for the class D user.
spoolid
is the system-assigned number of the spool file that is to be queried. This
option is not valid with the SYSTEM keyword.
CLass c
designates an existing spool file class. The operand c is a 1-character
alphanumeric field that may be from A to Z, or 0 to 9.
DEST dest
indicates that you want to obtain information for files with the specified
destination value; dest is a 1- to 8-character value.
