Catalog Spool DEFINEs
Catalog Spool DEFINEs
Use the Catalog Spool DEFINEs screen to add new spool DEFINEs to the attachments
catalog. You can also use the screen to inquire about, update, and delete spool
DEFINEs already in the catalog.
Spool DEFINEs are used to pass information to the spooler collector process. The
attributes of a spool DEFINE specify parameters such as the spooler location and
batch name.
DEFINEs in the NetBatch-Plus catalog can be shared by any number of jobs. By using
these DEFINEs, you can easily and quickly attach identical DEFINEs to multiple jobs.
Instead of creating the DEFINEs for each job, you need only create a single DEFINE in
the catalog. You can then attach that DEFINE to as many jobs as you want. Catalog
DEFINEs also simplify DEFINE maintenance. By updating the attributes of a catalog
DEFINE, you automatically update those attributes for all jobs to which they apply.
You can attach catalog spool DEFINEs to jobs by using the Job Spool DEFINEs
screen. You can also use that screen to override attributes of a catalog spool DEFINE.
Displaying the Screen
From any catalog attachment screen, enter S or SPOOL in the Option field and press
F13 to display the Catalog Spool DEFINEs screen.
