Spooler Subsystem
Calculating the Value of the PARM Attributes
The PRINT PARM and DEV PARM attributes are bit masks consisting of 16 bits
numbered from 0 (most significant) to 15 (least significant) that pass print process
parameters to FASTPTCP processes and device parameters to the FASTP network
print processes. The combination of bits set represents a single number which is
expressed as either a decimal value or as an octal value. (Octal values are expressed
with a leading percent sign (%)). Table 2-5 gives the octal and decimal equivalents of
these numbered bits:
When multiple bits are set, simply add the corresponding oct
al or decimal values. For
example, setting bits 1 and 5 results in an octal value of %42000 (%40000 plus
%2000) or a decimal value of 17408 (16384 plus 1024). Octal representation is more
convenient, especially when more than one bit is set because octal addition requires
no carries and can be more easily interpreted as individual bit numbers.
Designating Spooler Job Locations
A Spooler job location associates a printer with the Spooler device name. Spooler job
locations are specified in a Spoolcom LOC command.
