FORTRANSPOOLSTART Routine

level-3-buffer

is an INTEGER*2 array that contains at least 512 elements. This array is the buffer

in which to store spool file records before sending them to the spooler. It must be

allocated statically (in a common block or named in a DATA or SAVE statement)

and must not be allocated in the extended data segment.

location

is a character expression whose value specifies the location for the spooler job.

location overrides the location components of the file name you specify in an

OPEN statement. location requires 16 characters. If location is more than 16

characters, only the first 16 characters are passed to the spooler. If location is

less than 16 characters, the FORTRAN run-time library adds blanks on the right

side of location when it calls SPOOLSTART. The spooler expects a two-part

location name in the following format:

LOCATION ( 1: 1) must be "#"

LOCATION ( 2: 8) group name

LOCATION ( 9: 16) destination name

The group and destination names can by any combination of letters, digits, and

blanks.

form-name

is a character expression whose value specifies the form name for the spooler job.

form-name requires 16 characters. If form-name is more than 16 characters,

only the first 16 characters are passed to the spooler. If form-name is less than 16

characters, the FORTRAN run-time library adds blanks on the right side of location

when it calls SPOOLSTART. The spooler accepts any combination of letters, digits,

and blanks.

report-name

is a character expression whose value specifies the report name for the spooler

job. report-name requires 16 characters. If report-name is more than 16

characters, only the first 16 characters are passed to the spooler. If report-name

is less than 16 characters, the FORTRAN run-time library adds blanks on the right
