Peruse and Spoolcom Comparison

Peruse is intended for everyday users for monitoring and changing jobs. When you

enter Peruse, you immediately see a list of the jobs you own in the spooler subsystem,

identified by job number and other job attributes.

Spoolcom is intended for use by system operators for monitoring and controlling the

spooler subsystem. It contains all the Peruse functionality in the form of

subcommands. A system operator need not exit Spoolcom to perform Peruse

functions.

You can also write your own Peruse and Spoolcom functions. See the Spooler Plus

Programmer’s Guide for more information.
