Declaring the Current Job

Most Peruse commands affect only the current job. At the beginning of a Peruse

session, however, there is no current job. To declare the current job, use one of the

following methods:

•

Set the current job explicitly by entering a JOB command with the job number.

(You can also set the current job by entering only the job number.)

•

Set the current job implicitly by entering a Peruse command or by pressing the

RETURN key or a function key. The most recently spooled job becomes the

current job. For example, if you enter a LIST command, the most recently spooled

job becomes the current job and Peruse lists data for that job.

After you set the current job, Peruse identifies it in subsequent displays with a “J” to the

left of the job number. In the following example, job number 1435 is the current job.

Displaying a Job

There are three ways to display the current spooler job using Peruse:

•

Use the LIST Command, which is described later in this section.

•

Press the Return key to display one line. Press and hold down the Return key to

scroll the job until you release the key.

•

If you have a page-mode terminal, use the function keys to list lines from the

current job. Table 2-1

shows the number of lines listed by each function key.

Note. Before you can delete a job using the DEL command, you must declare it the current job

by using one of the methods described above.
