Transferring Spoolfiles to and from Other Systems--the SPFXFER Utility
The recommended method of transferring output spoolfiles between systems
with Native Mode Spooler is STORE and RESTORE as described elsewhere in
this chapter. However, spoolfiles created in compatibility mode or on a
classic HP3000 (MPE V/E based operating system) have a somewhat different
internal structure so they must be converted or transported before they
can be used in native mode. Similarly, native mode spoolfiles must be
transported before being used in compatibility mode or on a classic
HP3000. The SPFXFER utility allows you to transport spoolfiles back and
forth between these different system types.
Transferring to Native Mode--the Input Command
The INPUT command allows you to move spoolfiles onto your native mode
system that were output to tape (via the SPOOK utility) in compatibility
mode or on a classic HP3000. It will also input spoolfiles previously
output with the SPFXFER utility.
The general form of the INPUT command is:
INPUT {[username[. acctname]]} ;* tapefile
{[dfid [,...]] }
The INPUT and OUTPUT commands require a tape device back reference. So
before running the utility, set up a file equation for a tape such as:
FILE T;DEV=TAPE
To run the SPFXFER utility enter:
SPFXFER
The prompt > will appear. To see all commands available in SPFXFER enter
HELP at the prompt.
Input by User and Account Name.
To input all spoolfiles created under a specific user and account name,
enter:
> INPUT USER.ACCT;*T
To input all spoolfiles created by all users in a specific account,
enter:
> INPUT @.ACCT;*T
To input all spoolfiles created by all users in all accounts, enter:
> INPUT @.@;*T
The user name and account need not exist in the system directory nor will
this command create them.[REV END]

Input by DFID.
The DFID is the identifier given to a spoolfile in compatibility mode or
on a classic HP3000.
To input spoolfiles by DFID enter:
> INPUT (357,375,458);*T
Transferring Out of Native Mode--the OUTPUT Command
The OUTPUT command enables you to move spoolfiles from your native mode
environment onto a tape in SPOOK format for use in compatibility mode or
on a classic HP3000.
The general form of the OUTPUT command is:
OUTPUT {[username[. acctname]]} ;* tapefile [;PURGE]
{[spoolid [,...]] }
Output by User and Account Name.
To output all spoolfiles for a specific user and purge them, enter:
> OUTPUT USER.ACCT;*T;PURGE
The ;PURGE parameter is optional and causes files to be purged from your
system after being written to tape.
To output all spoolfiles for all users in a specific account, enter:
> OUTPUT @.ACCT;*T
Outputting by Spoolid.
To output by spoolfile ID, enter:
> OUTPUT 749822,37721,482943;*T
