Spoolcom BATCH Command Parameters
To send the equivalent of a Spoolcom BATCH command, specify a file number for the
filenum-of-supervisor parameter and a command-code of 8. The command-
parameter in this case is the batch number, not to exceed one word in length. Find
the subcommand-code and the subcommand-parameter for the Spoolcom BATCH
parameters you want from Table 4-10.
filenum-of-supervisor: a file number
command-code: 8
command-parameter: a batch number
For example, to specify that batch 78 requires a special form, you could enter the
following:
STRING .PAYROLL [0:7] := ["PAYROLL "];
COM^ERROR := SPOOLERCOMMAND (4, 8, 78, 107, PAYROLL);
Refer to the Spooler Plus Utilities Reference Manual for a description of the Spoolcom
BATCH parameters.
