LOC Command

The LOC command defines and modifies the spooler routing structure. Refer to

Routing Structure on page 1-13 for a description of default location attributes and a

description of the spooler routing structure.

All users can display the status of the spooler routing structure (with the STATUS

subcommand) or produce a cross-reference list of locations, devices, and print

processes (with the XREF subcommand).

In addition, authorized users can specify broadcast modes (BROADCAST), delete a

location (DELETE), and connect or disconnect a device from a location (DEV).

location

is the logical destination of a job. If a print device is associated with a specific

location, that print device becomes the physical destination of the job. The

location parameter is a two-part name: #group.dest, as described under

Routing Structure on page 1-13. If either name part is omitted, it takes its default

value.

subcommand

is one of the subcommands described below.

BROADCAST [ OFF | ON ]

specifies the broadcast mode of the group. Only authorized users can use the

BROADCAST subcommand.

BROADCAST or BROADCAST ON causes a job routed to #group to be printed

on all devices connected to #group.

BROADCAST OFF (the default value) causes jobs routed to the group to be

printed on the device (connected to the group) that can print the job the fastest.

DELETE

deletes from the spooler the entire group or the particular destination within the

group. This works only if there are no jobs currently in the location being

deleted. Only authorized users can use the DELETE subcommand.

DEV [ device-name ]

connects a location to or disconnects a location from a device.

If #group.dest is specified, the command refers to that particular group and

destination.
