Dealing With Job Output
Output From Other Processes
Processes started by an executor-program process also write the commands they
execute to the job’s output file, depending on the output file’s type. This table indicates
whether you can expect output for a given file type:
Figure 4-13 shows a commented example of output from a process started by an
executor-program process. The output is from the SPOOLCOM process started in the
previous figure.
Manipulating Job Output in the Spooler
For information on how spoolers handle job output and for details of the commands
used to manipulate that output, see the manuals for the spooler products you are
using.
Figure 4-12. Example of Executor-Program Output
Output File Type Nonexecutor-program Output?
Terminal device Yes
Nonterminal device Same as disk file
Spooler collector process Yes (new spooler job for output of each process)
Nonspooler collector process Yes, if the output file is different from that of the executor
program
Disk file No, if the output file is the same as that of the executor
program (the program has exclusive access to the file). In
this case, the process might abend if it tries to open the file,
depending on how it handles “file in use” errors.
