Sending Output to a SPOOL DEFINE
Altering a SPOOL DEFINE
1. Suppose you want to run another payroll job with the PAYLIST program, but you
want different values for the LOC, COPIES, and HOLDAFTER attributes. Enter an
ALTER DEFINE command to change these values:
2. Enter an INFO DEFINE command to display the new values.
3. Run the PAYLIST program; the spooler job now has these new values.
Deleting a SPOOL DEFINE
1. If you no longer need the =PAY-RUN DEFINE (and don’t want to wait for the
TACL program to delete it when you log off), you can delete it as shown below:
2. Enter an INFO DEFINE command for =PAY-RUN.
The TACL program displays this message:
20> ALTER DEFINE =PAY-RUN, LOC $S.#LAZR, COPIES 1, HOLDAFTER ON
21> INFO DEFINE =PAY-RUN, DETAIL
