Using PERUSE
Common PERUSE Operations
After you have established a current job, you can perform the operations such as those
listed in Table 30-2 (all operations apply to the current job unless otherwise specified).
Table 30-2 is not a complete list of PERUSE commands; for more information, see the
Guardian User’s Guide.
Here are some examples of spooler commands that involve the current job and the
current position. Suppose you have just started the spooler. The spooler always begins
by listing all jobs in its queues that belong to you. Suppose that the list is:
PERUSE - T9101D20 - (8JUN92) SYSTEM \LEO
JOB STATE PAGES COPIES PRI HOLD LOCATION REPORT
1171 READY 3 1 4 #EXCEP R01 DEVELOP JAN
2423 READY 4 1 4 A #MURPHY DEVELOP JAN
_
To establish job 1171 as the current job, you enter:
_JOB 1171
