Initial Job Status Display

If you have jobs in the spooler queue when you start Peruse, they are listed below the

program banner as shown in the following example:

Each line in the display describes a different job. The column headers are as follows:

PERUSE - T9101D48 - (30MAR2001) SYSTEM \NS

1984, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1988, 1989, 1991

1298 READY 3 1 4 #NOT BATCH STEVEW

1322 555 OPEN 3 4 #NEW DOCUMNT STEVEW

JOB Shows the job number of each job, as assigned by the supervisor. If the

current job is a spooler job file, Peruse displays FILE under this header.

BATCH Is the spooler batch number. If the job is not part of a batch job, this field

is blank.

STATE Shows the status of each job:

OPEN The job is still being collected by the spooler.

READY Spooler has finished collecting; the job is queued and

waiting to print.

HOLD The hold-before-printing flag is on, or the hold-after-printing

flag is on and the job has printed.

PRINT The job is currently printing.

PAGES Shows the number of pages in each job. Open jobs are still being

collected, so the number of pages is not known.

COPIES Shows the number of copies of the job to be made.

PRI Shows the priority of the job. When a job is first sent to the spooler, its

default priority is 4. The range is 0 through 7, 0 being lowest.
