You can produce the Peruse display described above at any time during a Peruse
session by entering the JOB command at the Peruse prompt.

HOLD Shows the hold status of the job:
A The hold-after-printing flag is on. The job remains in the
queue after it is printed.
B The hold flag is on but the job cannot be placed in the
HOLD state (the job is in the OPEN state). The job will be
placed in the HOLD state when it has been collected.
X For some reason the job is in error (for example, an
application abended while spooling the job).
LOCATION Shows the location of the job. If the location is associated with a print
device, the job is queued for printing. If the location is not associated
with a print device, the job remains in the queue and you can use
Peruse to examine, print, or delete the job. If a spooler job file is the
current job, Peruse displays the file name under LOCATION and
REPORT.
REPORT Shows the report name that is printed in the job header message.
