JOB Command
JOB Command
The JOB command sets the status of the current job or displays the status of all jobs
that you own. Most of the Peruse commands affect only the current job. The meaning
of each entry in the job display is given earlier in this section under Running Peruse.
option
is one of the following:
job-number
file-name
*
S[TATUS]
#location-name
job-number
is the number of a job that you own. Unless you log on as the super ID
(255,255), you are not permitted to affect another user’s job. Using this
parameter causes the job whose number you entered to become the current
job. You can enter job-number alone, omitting J[OB].
file-name
is the name of a spooler job file. Using this parameter causes that file to
become the current job and to appear in the job display list. Note that if you
want to specify a file named S or STATUS, you must give a more fully qualified
file name. Otherwise, Peruse will execute the JOB STATUS command.
*
specifies the job most recently added to the spooler subsystem. Entering an
asterisk causes the most recently added job to become the current job.
S[TATUS]
returns an expanded display of the status of the current job. See the
description of #location-name.
#location-name
is the name of a spooler location in the form #group.destination. It
specifies the job most recently sent to that location.
For more information on spooler locations, refer to the Guardian User's Guide.
If you do not specify an option, then the status of all jobs that you own is displayed.
