PRINT Command
(file type 101). The file can be an EDIT file, unstructured file, relative file,
entry-sequenced file, spooler job file, process, or device.
DETAIL
requests a complete list of all the print-process attributes.
SUMMARY
displays a summary of the state of the print processes such as print process in
active, dormant, error, and drain state, and the total number of print processes.
Can be used only when $process-name is missing.
XREF [ / OUT filename / ]
produces a cross-reference listing of print processes, devices, and locations,
ordered by print process. If a print process is not specified, a complete cross-
reference is produced. (This more time than any other XREF command.)
If OUT filename is specified, Spoolcom writes the data to it in a manner
suitable for the file type, process, or device. The filename parameter must
be specified; if the file does not exist, Spoolcom creates an EDIT file (file type
101). The file can be an EDIT file, unstructured file, relative file, entry-
sequenced file, spooler job file, process, or device.
Considerations
•
If neither $process-name nor subcommand is specified, then Spoolcom displays
the status of all print processes.
•
Any user can use the STATUS subcommand to obtain the status of print processes
in the spooler subsystem.
•
Only members of the authorized group can initialize and set the attributes of a print
process.
•
Attributes of a print process can be specified only when the print process is in the
dormant or procerror state.
•
The supervisor runs print processes only as needed. A print process controlling an
exclusive device runs all the time, while a print process controlling only shared
devices runs when the print process is actually printing a job on one of its devices.
•
Before you can delete a print process, you might need to perform the following
operations to put the process in the dormant state:
•
For the devices that use the print process, set DEV $device EXCLUSIVE OFF
so the print process will close the device when no more jobs are waiting to be
printed.
•
Drain the print process by draining all the devices that use the print process.
The DEV $device DRAIN command drains a device. The print process should
