Lesson 4 Monitoring Job Progress 

Q 3-34                There is one file associated with JOB1:

                      $STDLIST

                      __________________________________________________ 

                      NOTE  If you do a LISTSPF at just the right moment,
                            a spool file called EDTLIST may appear in the
                            display.  EDTLIST is a transitory spool file
                            associated with the editor.

                      __________________________________________________ 

Q 3-35                The priority of the $STDLIST spool file is 1.  This
                      should be below the outfence, which is generally 7.

Q 3-36                When the spool file is no longer active the spool
                      file "disappears" from the LISTSPF display.

Exercise 3-4 Aborting a Job and Using PRINT 

2.                    If you use PRINT and attempt to access the job
                      listing spool file before the job has completed,
                      you will be unable to look at the file because it
                      is not Ready.

                      You can use PRINT to examine the spool file while
                      it is still in the CREATE state.

3a.                   If you did not alter the priority, the file, with
                      any errors, would print on the line printer.

3c.                   Yes, you can now access and view the job listing.

3d.                   The following message appears at the end of the job
                      listing.

4.                    The state of the spool file (now that the job has
                      been aborted) is Ready.

                           *** JOB ABORTED BY SYSTEM MANAGEMENT ***

5.                    Display remaining spool files and purge them.

                           LISTSPF @;SELEQ=[OWNER=USERx.ACCTx]

                      Abort any job that still as a $STDIN spool file.
                      Use ABORTJOB.

                           SPOOLF (!!filenumber, filenumber, ...!!)SELEQ=[OWNER=USERx.ACCTx];DELETE

                      Purge those spool files.

                           >EXIT
