DEV Command
3. Before you can delete a job, you must make it the current job. When using Peruse
noninteractively, you can use the JOB * command to make the most recently
spooled job current so you can delete it:
9> PERUSE; JOB *;DEL
DEV Command
The DEV command displays the status of a specified device and lists the job queue for
that device.
$device
is the name of a device on the spooler subsystem.
Considerations
Most of the status information is self-explanatory. FORM is the form name, if any,
denoting a special print device or paper associated with that printer.
•
The jobs in the device queue are listed in the order that they will print.
•
The wait time is the estimated total wait time (including time to print) for each job,
once the job that is currently printing has completed. The estimated wait time is
computed by using the estimated printer speed that was specified in the Spoolcom
DEV SPEED parameter. Refer to the Spoolcom DEV Command on page 3-21 for
more information.
If a high-priority job is added to the queue, all the wait times change accordingly.
Example
By requesting the status of device $LP, you can better determine how long you might
have to wait to get a job printed on it:
DEV $device
_DEV $LP
DEV STATE: PRINTING FORM:
