BATCH Command
HOLDAFTER [ OFF | ON ]
sets the hold-after-printing flag on or off. HOLDAFTER or HOLDAFTER ON
places the batch job in the hold state after it is printed. HOLDAFTER OFF (the
default) allows the batch job to be deleted after printing.
LINK job-number
causes the job specified by job-number to become linked to the current batch
job if the key attributes of the specified job match those of the batch job.
LOC [ #location ]
specifies a new location for the batch job. The batch job must be in the hold
state before its location attribute can be changed. If the #location
parameter is omitted, #DEFAULT is the new location.
OWNER { group-name.user-name | group-number,user-number }
designates a new owner for the batch job. A batch job must be in the HOLD
state before its owner can be changed. You must use the local form of either
the group and user name or the group and user number. The range for
group-number and user-number is 1 through 255.
REPORT [ report-name ]
changes the report name for the batch job. A batch job must be in the hold
state before its report name can be changed. The report-name is composed
of as many as 16 letters, numbers, and blanks, and it must begin with a letter.
It prints on the header page, 8 characters to a line. The default report name is
the user ID of the creator, that is, group-name.user-name.
SELPRI selection-priority
specifies the selection priority of the batch job. A batch job must be in the
HOLD state before its priority attribute can be changed. Valid priority values
are 0 through 7. When a batch job is added to the spooler, it is given a default
priority of 4. The higher the priority, the sooner the batch job prints.
START
takes a batch job out of the hold state and places it in the ready state.
STATUS [ / OUT file-name / ][ DETAIL ]
obtains the status of all batch jobs in the spooler subsystem.
OUT file-name
indicates where Spoolcom is to write the batch job status. If not specified,
the status is written to the Spoolcom OUT file (usually the home terminal).
