EOLWRITE
Level-3 FASTCNFG File Syntax
In a level-3 FASTCNFG file you can only specify device attributes:
DEVICE [\node.]$device-name[.#qualifier]
attribute = attribute-value
[,attribute = attribute-value]...
EOLWRITE
FASTP normally attempts to buffer output, except in some cases involving parallel
printers.
EOLWRITE = YES | NO
YES forces normally buffered output to be written to the device a line at a time.
The default value is NO.
ERRORRECOVERY
FASTP normally recovers from nonfatal errors during printing by restarting the entire
job output.
ERRORRECOVERY = YES | NO
YES forces FASTP to recover from non-fatal errors by simply reissuing the last
input/output (I/O) request. This is the same function that is available in PSPOOLB print
processed when the PARM bit 5 is set for a device.
Considerations
ERRORRECOVERY is only recommended when the device involved can properly
process a resend of the last I/O operation. Otherwise it can duplicate or corrupt output
within the page where the error occurred.
TIMEOUT
The TIMEOUT attribute sets or overrides the wait time value established for I/O
operations to a device. The value given is in one-hundredth (.01) of a second
increments.
The default wait time for device I/O operations depends on the device type and its
driver process. For devices connected using direct serial or parallel channels, FASTP
waits indefinitely. It relies on the EIOTIMEOUT attribute configured for and applied by
the device driver. For SNA connections, FASTP uses a default timeout of two minutes.
For CONTROL 11 operations, FASTP uses a default timeout of one minute.
