Changes to Library Procedures

The library procedures in the Spooler system have been enhanced to support the

application of Spooler Plus utilities and the new commands and subcommands.

Application Migration Issues

Applications that use the Spooler library procedures may need to be changed if they

use procedures that are sensitive to limits extensions. These are the procedures that

have been enhanced to permit accurate handling of larger job numbers, batch

numbers, allocated units, total units, line numbers, and page numbers. TACL macros

and routines that parse Spoolcom or Peruse output need to be modified because of the

slightly different format used where these counts are displayed.

Unsupported Procedures

You cannot use the PRINTCOMPLETE, PRINTSTART, and SPOOLEREQUEST

procedures to access spooler jobs that reside in the D41 and later releases of the

Spooler Plus subsystem. You can continue to use these procedures to access file

code 129 job files, however. To access spooler jobs in the D41 and later releases of

the Spooler subsystem, you must use the PRINTCOMPLETE2, PRINTSTART2, and

SPOOLEREQUEST2 procedures.
