Displaying a Job

There are three ways to display the current spooler job using Peruse:



Use the LIST Command, which is described later in this section.



Press the Return key to display one line. Press and hold down the Return key to

scroll the job until you release the key.



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.

Using Spooler Job Files

You can also use Peruse with spooler job files. A spooler job file is an unstructured

disk file with file code 129. This type of file contains a spooler job, including print data

records and formatting control information (CONTROLs, CONTROLBUFs, and

SETMODEs).

A spooler job file does not appear in the job display list unless you declare it as the

current job by using the JOB command with the file name. The following example

shows a job display list with a spooler job file as the current job:

You can use the following Peruse commands with spooler job files:

The following Peruse commands are not used with spooler job files:
