Modifying Location Attributes
Example
To display the current attributes of the location named #BIRD6.DEFAULT, enter:
) LOC #BIRD6.DEFAULT, STATUS DETAIL
A listing such as this is displayed on your home terminal:
This listing shows that the BROADCAST attribute is off, that this location is connected
to the device \CAT.$C, and that no FONT attribute has been configured for this
location.
Modifying Location Attributes
To modify location attributes by breaking the connection between a location and a
device, enter:
) LOC [ #group.] dest, DEV
If you specify only the destination, the command refers to every group that has that
destination in it.

To modify location attributes by breaking the connection between the location #BIRD6
and any devices connected to that location, enter:
) LOC #BIRD6, DEV
LOCATION: #BIRD6.DEFAULT
BROADCAST: OFF

Table 15-6. Location Attributes
SPOOLCOM LOC
Attributes and Subcommands Description and Default Value
BROADCAST [ ON | OFF ] BROADCAST or BROADCAST ON causes a job routed
to #group to be printed on all devices connected to
#group. BROADCAST OFF, the default value, causes
jobs routed to #group to be printed on the one device
connected to the group that can print the job the fastest.
DEV $device Specifies which device the location is connected to. There
is no default; you must connect a location to a device to
direct the jobs sent to the location to an output device.
FONT font-name Specifies which font job should be downloaded to the
location before any jobs are sent to it. This attribute causes
jobs routed to a particular location to be printed with the
character set, compressed print mode, or whatever other
printing attributes have been programmatically set in the
font-name file. See the Spooler Utilities Reference
Manual for details and instructions.
