Field Descriptions
•
Greater than the TAPEDRIVES scheduler attribute, the job is never scheduled for
execution. To avoid this, do not specify more drives for a job than are specified by
the TAPEDRIVES scheduler attribute. If it does occur, resolve it by doing one of:
°
Increase the number of drives specified by the TAPEDRIVES scheduler
attribute
°
Reduce the number of drives required by the job
For more information on the tape drives counter, see Scheduler Info on page 6-190.
Lines
Use the Lines field to set the MAXPRINTLINES job attribute. The attribute specifies the
maximum number of print lines for a job output file. Because the attribute is, in effect, a
spooler attribute, it is effective only if the output file is a spooler process.
To set the attribute, enter an integer in the range 120 through 65534 specifying the
maximum number of print lines. To specify no maximum, enter NOMAX.
If you submit a job without specifying its MAXPRINTLINES attribute, the job adopts the
DEFAULT-MAXPRINTLINES scheduler attribute. To display this scheduler attribute,
use the Scheduler Info screen.
The MAXPRINTLINES job attribute applies to the job log file and the output of each
process started by the job.
•
If the job log file fills, the spooler logs error code 45 (“File is full”) to the scheduler
log file but continues processing the job.
•
If a TACL process or NBEXEC process is the executor program and the process
output file fills, the job is stopped. All processes started by the job are also
stopped. If the executor program is neither a TACL process nor NBEXEC process,
whether or not the job is stopped depends on how the process handles spooler
error code 45.
The attribute is overridden by the MAXPRINTPAGES job attribute if the number of
pages specified by MAXPRINTPAGES converts to fewer lines. For example,
MAXPRINTPAGES 8 (480 lines) overrides MAXPRINTLINES 600. To avoid conflicting
attributes, specify MAXPRINTLINES or MAXPRINTPAGES, not both.
Pages
Use the Pages field to set the MAXPRINTPAGES job attribute. The attribute specifies
the maximum number of pages for a job output file. Because the attribute is, in effect, a
spooler attribute, it is only effective if the output file is a spooler process.
To set the attribute, enter an integer in the range 2 through 65534 specifying the
maximum number of pages. To specify no maximum, enter NOMAX.
