Declaring the Current Job
Spoolcom puts the component in the drain state but does not wait for the drain to
finish.
You can eliminate the need to repeat the job number in each command by first setting
the job as the current job. Using this technique, you would enter the three commands
shown above as follows:
)JOB 1635, CURRENT
)JOB 1635, HOLD
)JOB 1635, REPORT TAL COMPILE
)JOB 1635, START
Declaring the Current Job
Some Spoolcom commands affect only the current job. At the beginning of a Spoolcom
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,
followed by the CURRENT subcommand.
•
Set the current job implicitly by entering NEXT, LIST, FIND, PAGE, PUT, or PUTC.
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
Spoolcom lists data for that job.
After you set the current job, Spoolcom identifies this job in subsequent displays with
JOB to the left of the job number.
Displaying a Job
There are two ways to display the current spooler job using Spoolcom:
•
Use the LIST Command.
•
If you have a page-mode terminal, use the function keys to list lines from the
current job. Table 3-1
shows the number of lines listed by each function key.
