Unsupported Procedures
The following three system library spooling procedures are no longer applicable for
access to jobs that reside in the D41 product version of Spooler (first available in the
D44 and G03 system releases):
PRINTCOMPLETE
PRINTSTART
SPOOLEREQUEST
These three procedures can continue to be used, however, if the application accesses
jobs only in the form of filecode 129 job files. Customers wishing to access jobs in the
D41 product version of Spooler must now employ the “2” versions of these procedures:
PRINTCOMPLETE2
PRINTSTART2
SPOOLEREQUEST2
See Hotstuff HS02226 for detailed information.
To help determine if a user application is using these library spooling procedures, you
can use a specific TACL MACRO. The TACL MACRO searches the binder region of
specified filecode 100 files for any of the three procedure names. The macro can be
found attached to Hotstuff HS02226.
Unsupported Procedures
You cannot use the PRINTCOMPLETE, PRINTSTART, and SPOOLEREQUEST
procedures to access spooler jobs that reside in the D41 and later releases of the
Spooler subsystem. You can continue to use these procedures to access filecode 129
job files, however. To access spooler jobs in the D41 and later releases of the Spooler
subsystem, you must use the PRINTCOMPLETE2, PRINTSTART2, and
SPOOLEREQUEST2 procedures.
New Versions of Print Processes Required
The following print processes have been altered in order to operate with the D41, D46,
or D48 spooler:

NETWARE LAN PRINT

XNS LAN PRINT

TCP/IP LAN PRINT

X.25 WAN PRINT

FASTPLW
If you plan to use any of these products, and have not yet upgraded to at least a D44
or G03 NonStop Kernel operating system, you must install the correct SPR for each
product. Always check with IPM Scout for the latest SPRs.
