Task 3: Use the Created DEFINE

1. Enter an ADD DEFINE command to create a SPOOL DEFINE named =FUP-

COPY-DEFINE and to set its attributes:

This SPOOL DEFINE specifies that two copies of the job are to be printed on the

laser printer associated with location $S.#LASER. The hold-after-printing flag is set

so the job will remain in the print queue in case additional copies are required.

The priority is set to 7 (highest), and the report name is "Employee Names". This

DEFINE also sets the FORM attribute to ensure that the job prints on special paper.

2. Enter an INFO DEFINE command for =FUP-COPY-DEFINE with the DETAIL

option. Review the displayed attributes and their values.

Task 3: Use the Created DEFINE

Once a DEFINE is created, use it by refering to it in an appropriate TACL command.

1. Enter a FUP COPY command with the destination file set to the SPOOL DEFINE

you just created:

This command also sends any FUP messages to the OUT file FUPMSGS and

includes the NOWAIT option so FUP runs in the background.

2. Use Peruse to see the spooler job attributes for the spooler job created by FUP. This

job has the attributes specified in your SPOOL DEFINE.

After two copies are printed, the job remains on the print queue. You can print

additional copies, if needed, or you can delete the job from the queue with the

Peruse DEL command.
