SPOOLF
Allows a qualified user to alter, print, or delete output spool file(s).
(Native Mode)
Syntax
SPOOLF has three possible execution branches. Which branch you choose
depends upon whether your objective is to alter, print, ;delete.
Branch 1 (;ALTER)
{[IDNAME=]{spoolid } }
{ {(spoolid[,spoolid]...)} }
{ }
{[;ALTER][;SELEQ= {[select-eq] }]}
{ [ {^indirect_file}]}
{ }
SPOOLF {[ {ldev }] }
{[;DEV={devclass}] }
{[ {devname }] }
{ }
{[;PRI=outpri][;COPIES= numcopies] }
{[;SPSAVE] [;DEFER ] [;SHOW] }
{ [;UNDEFER] }
________________________________________________________________________
Branch 2 (;PRINT)
{[IDNAME=]{fileset } }
{ {(fileset[,fileset]...)} }
{ }
{ [ {ldev }] }
SPOOLF {;PRINT[;DEV= {devclass}] }
{ [ {devname }] }
{ }
{[;PRI=outpri] [;COPIES= numcopies]}
{[;SPSAVE] [;DEFER ] [;SHOW] }
{ [;UNDEFER] }
________________________________________________________________________
Branch 3 (;DELETE)
{[IDNAME=]{spoolid }}
{ {(spoolid[,spoolid]...)}}
{ }
SPOOLF {;DELETE[;SELEQ= {select-eq }]}
{ [ {^indirect_file}]}
{ }
{[;SHOW] }
The ;ALTER keyword is optional. It is also the default for all three
SPOOLF execution branches. If you do not specify ;ALTER, ;PRINT, or
;DELETE, SPOOLF accepts only those parameters and keywords associated
with the first (;ALTER) branch.
Permitting ;ALTER to default has consequences: any attempt to specify
parameters not belonging to the first execution branch fails.
If your objective is to alter, use the first execution branch and any of
its parameters. If your objective is to print, use the second execution
branch and any of its parameters. If your objective is to delete, use
the third execution branch and any of its parameters.
Parameters
spoolid One or more spool file IDs: #Innn for input spool files
or #Onnn for output spool files. These IDs are assigned
by the spooling subsystem at spool file creation time.
The # is optional. So is the O if you are displaying
output spool files; that is, if you specify neither [#]O
nor [#]I, [#]Onnn is assumed. Do not attempt to specify
a qualified file name. You must enter spoolid.
There is no default.
The symbol @ may be used to specify all spool
files.
The symbol O@ may be used to specify all output
spool files.
The symbol I@ may be used to specify all input
spool files.
If @, O@, or I@ is specified, it must be the only
value supplied. @, O@, and I@ are mutually
exclusive.
_______________________________________________________
NOTE If you specify duplicate spoolids, a warning
message is displayed.
_______________________________________________________
A console user or a user with SM or OP capability who
specifies O@ acts on all output spool files on the
system. A user with AM capability who specifies O@ acts
on all output spool files created by users in the same
account. All other users are limited to files they have
created.
fileset Specifies the set of files to be printed.
There is no default.
This positional parameter has this form:
filename[/lockword[.groupname[.accountname]]]
You may use wildcards. Files that are not spool files
are ignored. An error is returned for each input spool
file in the file set.
If the file name or set is not fully qualified, the
default is the user's current logon group and account.
In batch mode, if any file in the set has a lockword, it
must be supplied with the command; therefore, the file
cannot be part of a set that contains wildcards. This
restriction does not apply in interactive mode because
the system prompts the user for each required lockword.
In any case, if the lockword is not correctly provided,
the print option on that file fails with a warning
message, and the command continues on the rest of the
files, if any.
select-eq The selection equation is used as a filter on the set of
spool files selected. Only spool files whose attributes
satisfy all filter requirements are listed.
For example, you use the following command to delete all
of the output spool files to which you have access and
that have less than 100 pages from user.acct:
SPOOLF O@;DELETE;SELEQ=[(OWNER=user.acct)AND(PAGES<100)]
Selection equations have the following format. In this
display, when the expression is expanded, interpret the
symbol ::= as "can be replaced by."
select-eq ::= [equation]
Begin and end a selection equation with square brackets
([ and ]).
{ {> } }
{ {>=} }
{parm{< } value }
{ {<=} }
{ {<>} }
equation ::= { {= } }
{ }
{(equation) }
{NOT equation }
{equation {AND} equation}
{ {OR } }
_______________________________________________________
NOTE The logical operator AND takes precedence over the
logical operator OR. For example:
SPOOLF O@;DELETE;SELEQ=[FILEDES=REPT OR OWNER=BOB.ACCTG AND PRI>8]
[FILEDES=REPT OR OWNER=BOB.ACCTG AND PRI>8] is the
same as [FILEDES=REPT OR (OWNER=BOB.ACCTG AND
PRI>8)].
_______________________________________________________
value ::= Appropriate values per data type.
parm ::= The parameter (parm) may be one of several
attributes of the spool file to be altered or deleted,
such as the dev parm, the FILEDES parm, and so on. The
parm choices are described below.
_______________________________________________________
NOTE For string types other than DATE, such as user
name, only the relational operators "=" and "<>"
apply. Using any others results in an error.
_______________________________________________________
* parm ::= DEV: LDEV number, device name, or device
class name. You may use wildcards for device
name and device class name.
* parm ::= FILEDES: Formal or actual file
designator for the spool file. For example, if
you enter the file equation below and print to
it, EPOCLONG is the spool file's FILEDES.
FILE EPOCLONG;DEV=EPOC;ENV=LPLONG.ENV.SYS
PRINT MYFILE,*EPOCLONG
You may use wildcards.
This keyword supports selection on the null
string by entering FILEDES= "" (you may also use
single quotes). You must include such a
construct if you specifically want to select on
such an attribute. Note that "" is not the same
as " ". The blank is significant.
* parm ::= SPOOLID: Spool File identifier number in
the format #Onnn or #Innn.
The # is optional; but if it is used, an O or I
must also be used. If it is not used, the O is
also optional for output spool files; that is 123
is the same as #O123. The valid range of
spoolids is 1 <= nnn <= 9,999,999. (The commas
are for clarity; do not enter any commas in the
actual equation.)
* parm ::= PAGES: Number of pages in spool file
(if known). Use a positive integer.
________________________________________________
NOTE This attribute does not apply to input
spool files; therefore, any logical
condition involving the attribute always
returns FALSE when tested against an input
spool file.
________________________________________________
* parm ::= FORMID: Form name. You may use
wildcards. (The formid is an ASCII string up to
8 characters, the first of which must be a
letter.). Refer to the note accompanying the
FILEDES and pages description.
* parm ::= STATE: READY, ACTIVE, OPEN, CREATE,
PRINT, PROBLM, DELPND, SPSAVE, DEFER, XFER.
* parm ::= JOBNAME: Job or session name under which
the spool file was created. The job name can
consist of up to 8 alphanumeric characters, the
first of which must be a letter.
For a job input spool file, the JOBNAME shown is
allocated to that job, not the job or session
that streamed it.
You may use wildcards.
* parm ::= DISP: Disposition can be SPSAVE or
PURGE. Refer to the NOTE accompanying the PAGES
description.
* parm ::=COPIES: Number of copies. Minimum is 1,
maximum is 65,535. (The comma in 65,535 is for
clarity; do not enter commas in the actual
equation.)
________________________________________________
NOTE If printing has started and you wish to
alter the number of copies to be printed,
use the ALTSPOOLFILE command to make the
change.
The SPOOLF command tracks the number of
copies already printed. If you use SPOOLF
to alter the number of copies to be
printed, the spool file is automatically
deleted if the new number requested is less
than or equal to the number already
printed.
The ALTSPOOLFILE command tracks the number
of copies remaining to be printed. During
printing, it does not delete the spool file
if the number that you request is less than
or equal to the number originally
requested.
Refer to the MPE/iX Commands Reference
Manual (32650-90003).
________________________________________________
* parm ::= PRI: Output priority. Minimum is 0,
maximum is 14. Refer to the note accompanying
the PAGES description.
* parm ::= JOBNUM: Job or session number under
which the spool file was created, for example:
#S257, #J329, or Jn (the "#" is optional). 1 <=
n <= 16,383. (The commas are for clarity; do not
enter any commas in the actual equation.)
For a job input spool file, the JOBNUM shown is
allocated to the job, not the job or session that
streamed it.
You may use some wildcards; J@ accepts all jobs,
S@ accepts all sessions. J'@ and S'@ are also
allowed, The apostrophe (') indicates an imported
spool file or a spool file recovered during START
NORECOVERY.
* parm ::= RECS: Number of records in the spool
file. A positive integer is expected.
* parm ::= OWNER: The user under which the spool
file was created. The format of the owner is
user.account. If the account is not specified,
the user's current account is assumed. You may
use wildcards.
For a job input spool file, the OWNER is the user
logon for the job, not the job or session that
streamed it.
* parm ::= JOBABORT: Select based on whether this
is the $STDLIST of a job that aborted when an
error was encountered when no CONTINUE was in
effect.
Valid values are TRUE and FALSE. Only "=" and
"<>" are allowed as relational operators. Refer
to the note accompanying the PAGES description.
* parm ::= DATE: Creation date in the format
mm/dd/yy or mm/dd/year. Note that the year can
be in the form of yy, as in 10/10/88, or in the
form of year, as in 10/10/1988; both are legal
syntax for the date parameter.
indirect_file Specifies the name of a file containing the
selection equation. It must be preceded by a caret
(^). The selection equation contained in the file
may not exceed 277 characters in length, including
the brackets in which it must reside. There is no
restriction on the indirect file code. If the
record size exceeds 277, only 277 characters per
record are read and a warning is issued.
Backreferencing to a formal file designator is also
allowed for an indirect_file name; that is,
^*filename is also allowed. Any file is accepted
as an indirect_file, unless the file system returns
an error from FOPEN or FREAD.
There is no limit to the number of records in the
indirect_file, only the total character count.
Records are processed as follows:
* Leading and trailing blanks are stripped.
* If the last nonblank character is an
ampersand (&), it is also stripped;
otherwise, one blank is added back to the
end of the record as a delimiter.
* The character count of the record is added
to that of the records processed previously.
If the total character count exceeds 277, an
error is returned. If the total is less
than 277, the current record is appended to
previous records.
* This process repeats until either 277
characters have been counted or the
end-of-file is detected. Records
terminating with or without ampersands may
be mixed as desired in the indirect file.
* If the resulting string is <=277 characters,
it is parsed.
* If the parser detects a syntax error, or if
any nonblank character follows the closing
bracket (]) of the select-eq, an error is
returned and the select-eq is not processed.
ALTER The ALTER option alters the characteristics of
specified output spool files. Private output spool
files may be altered in a limited fashion; only the
keywords PRI, DEFER, and UNDEFER are allowed. A
system manager (SM) user may also specify DEV=.
You cannot alter the attributes of spool files in
the SPSAVE state.
__________________________________________________
NOTE If you use the DEFER or DEV keyword on a
spool file that is being printed, the spooler
process printing the file is interrupted.
The spooler process saves the page number of
the last complete page that was printed in
the spool files's file label extension
(FLABX). The next time the file is selected
for printing by any spooler, output resumes
at the page saved in the FLABX.
__________________________________________________
Because of the large amount of data buffered in the
file system and the device, an output device may
continue to print, making it appear as if the DEFER
or DEV keyword has not had any effect. In reality,
the spooler stops sending data to the device when
the command is received but must wait until all
buffered data has been printed before releasing the
spool file.
Depending on both the content of the data and the
amount of buffering, this may require a significant
part of a page or even several pages.
PRINT The PRINT option copies the specified file sets to
the HPSPOOL account and links the new output spool
files into the spool queues for printing. It is
especially useful for generating more copies of a
spool file in the SPSAVE state.
If the target device or class information exists in
the file label extension, that device or class is
used as the default.
The DEV= option may be used to override this
default. If there is no target device in the file
label extension or the device specified is not
valid, the DEV= parameter must be specified or an
error message results.
The default values of PRI (8) and COPIES (1) may
also be overridden by user-specified parameters.
You may specify ;DEFER or ;UNDEFER or ;SHOW for the
target spool file that you are creating.
Any changes that you apply through ;PRINT apply
only to the new copy of the spool file(s) that you
are creating. The changes do not apply to your
original spool file(s).
__________________________________________________
NOTE The user of the SPOOLF...;PRINT command must
have nonshareable device (ND) capability.
Private files cannot be printed using the
PRINT option.
__________________________________________________
DELETE The DELETE option purges all specified private or
nonprivate spool files to which the user has access
from the system.
If a spool file is not in use (opened by a user, or
being printed or stored), it is purged immediately.
If it is in use, it is placed in DELPND state. Any
spooler process printing it is notified, and
printing stops at that point. Each of these files
is deleted when its last user closes it, except in
the case of STORE, as described below.
__________________________________________________
NOTE Because of the large amount of data buffered
in the file system and the device, an output
device may continue to print, making it
appear as if the DELETE option has not had
any effect. In reality, the spooler stops
sending data to the device when the command
is received but must wait until all buffered
data has been printed before stopping.
Depending on both the content of the data and
the amount of buffering, this may require a
significant part of a page or even several
pages.
__________________________________________________
The following command returns the spool file to its
previous state from the DELPND state, if the
command is issued before the file is actually
deleted:
* SPOOLF nnn;ALTER
Interruptions to the spooling process are
different, depending on whether the spool file was
opened by a spooler or by a user process.
* Spool File opened by a spooler
If a spooler is printing the spool file and
has not yet closed the file, entering the
command SPOOLF nnn;ALTER returns the file to
the PRINT state. The spooler has already
been interrupted and is in the process of
cleaning up by printing all data and closing
the file. The cleanup process is not
interrupted nor is it reversed due to the
SPOOLF nnn;ALTER command.
Because the spooler has been interrupted
while printing a spool file, it marks the
spool file as incompletely printed when it
closes it. The spool file is put into the
READY state, where it can be selected for
printing once again.
* Spool File opened by a user process
A user process that has opened a spool file
is not interrupted by the SPOOLF nnn;DELETE
command nor by the subsequent SPOOLF
nnn;ALTER command. When the user process
eventually closes the spool file, the file
disposition used during the close determines
the fate of the spool file. The spool file
returns to the state it was in before the
user opened it, if it continues to exist.
STORE introduces a unique situation. If a spool
file is being stored when anyone (including the
output spooler upon completing the last copy of the
file) requests that the file be deleted, the file
is placed in DELPND, as described above, but it
cannot be purged by closing the file because it is
still in use by STORE. Even so, the STORE command
does not purge the file when it finishes with it
(unless STORE's user has specified the PURGE
option), because it accesses the file at a level
lower than that known by the NMS file management
routines. Such a file remains in the DELPND state
until one of the following occurs:
* Someone opens it and closes it (with PURGE,
SPOOLF;DELETE, FCOPY, PRINT, or an editor).
* STORE completes and the PURGE option was
selected.
* It is made ready by raising the number of
copies such that after the SPOOLF...;ALTER
completes, the number of copies to be
printed exceeds the number already printed.
The DELETE option works on either DATA input spool
files in the READY state, or all output spool files
in the READY, PRINT, DEFER, SPSAVE, or PROBLM
state. It does not work on job $STDIN files; use
the ABORTJOB command for these files.
ldev Specifies the logical device number of the spool
file's new destination device.
If the spool file is in the PRINT state, it is
returned to the READY state. It may immediately
enter the PRINT state on ldev if all requirements
are met.
__________________________________________________
NOTE Printing of a spool file is interrupted only
if the newly specified target ldev, devclass,
or devname is different from the previous
target ldev, devclass, or devname.
__________________________________________________
devclass Specifies the new destination device class name for
the spool file. If the spool file is in the PRINT
state, it is returned to the READY state. It may
immediately enter the PRINT state on a device in
devclass if all requirements are met.
The devclass parameter must begin with a letter and
consist of eight or fewer alphanumeric characters.
Note that MPE/iX does not allow the same name to be
configured as a device class name and a device
name. efer to the note accompanying ldev.
devname Specifies the device name of the spool file's new
destination device. If the spool file is in the
PRINT state, it is returned to the READY state. It
may immediately enter the PRINT state on devname if
all requirements are met. Note that this occurs
even if devname is the same as the device currently
printing the file.
The devname parameter must begin with a letter and
consist of eight or fewer alphanumeric characters.
Note that MPE/iX does not allow the same name to be
configured as a device class name and a device
name. Refer to the NOTE accompanying ldev.
outpri Specifies the output priority of the designated
spool files, where 0 is the lowest and 14 is the
highest. Only an OP user or the console can
specify an outpri of 14; other users are limited to
13.
The default is 8 with the PRINT option and no
change for the ALTER option.
numcopies Specifies the number of copies of the designated
spool files to be printed. The allowable range is
1 through 65,535. (The commas are for clarity; do
not enter any commas in the actual command.)
The default is 1 for the PRINT option and no change
for the ALTER option.
SPSAVE The SPSAVE option specifies that the selected spool
files are not to be deleted after their last copy
has printed. Instead they are retained in the
HPSPOOL account in the SPSAVE state until deleted
manually. Among other advantages, this option
allows documents to be copied to user file space,
to be reprinted without being reformatted, and so
on.
Private spool files may not be saved.
__________________________________________________
NOTE When a file enters the SPSAVE state, its
priority is set to 8 and its number of copies
is set to 1. This is so that it will have
the proper defaults should it be printed
later.
__________________________________________________
DEFER The DEFER option changes the spool file's state to
DEFER. If it is currently in the PRINT state, its
spooler is notified and printing stops at that
point. (See the note about buffer retention under
the DELETE option.) The spool file's priority
remains unchanged. If this option is used with the
PRINT option, the spool file is copied to
OUT.HPSPOOL and linked to the spooling system, but
the state of the spool file is DEFER. The spool
file is not printed until a subsequent
SPOOLF...;UNDEFER is entered.
__________________________________________________
NOTE If the DEFER option is used on any file in
the CREATE state (opened for original
creation), the spool file only enters the
DEFER state after it is completed (closed for
the last time).
__________________________________________________
UNDEFER The UNDEFER option changes a spool file's state
from DEFER to READY and causes a spooler to start
printing it if the spool file is qualified for an
idle printer to print. The spool file's priority
remains unchanged.
SHOW The SHOW option allows a user to display the
results of the SPOOLF command. All other
parameters are processed before the SHOW. Here is
an example:
_______________________________________________________________________________________
| |
| |
| SPOOLF O@;SELEQ=[DEV=16];ALTER;PRI=8;SHOW |
| |
| SPOOLID JOBNUM FILEDES PRI COPIES DEV STATE RSPFN OWNER |
| #O414 J5 $STDLIST 8 1 00000016 READY ALIX.MKT |
| #O416 J7 HOTSTUFF 8 2 00000016 READY JACK.SALES |
| |
_______________________________________________________________________________________
Operation notes
Input spool file attributes cannot be altered, but input spooled DATA
files can be deleted. Private spool files may be altered in a limited
fashion; only the keywords PRI, DEFER, UNDEFER, and DELETE are allowed.
If the user has system manager capability, DEV= is also allowed.
The SPOOLF...;ALTER command can be used on problem state spool files to
alter the device attribute so that the spool file becomes ready again.
Most of the time, the spool file is in the problem state because the
target device of the spool file is invalid.
You may wish to select for printing only those spool files that do
require special forms, or only those that do not require special forms.
One way to do this is to use the ;FORMID parameter. Use a file equation
with ;FORMID to designate one device that requires special forms and use
another file equation without the parameter to designate a printer that
does not require special forms.
You may select files with no FORMID by specifying a null string
(SELEQ=[FORMID=""]). The following example uses the LISTSPF command, but
;SELEQ works equally well with the SPOOLF command.
File equations such as the ones here are used to create the designations:
FILE NOFORMID;DEV=LP,2
FILE FORMID1;DEV=LP,2;FORMID=FORMID1;FORMS=Forms Message 1.
FILE FORMID2;DEV=LP,2;FORMID=FORMID2;FORMS=Forms Message 2.
The priorities are set low, to defer printing. This gives you time to
use the LISTSPF command to examine the state of your output spool files.
Create two output files using each file equation.

Use
This command may be issued from a session, a job, a program, or in Break,
. The SPOOLF...;SHOW command is breakable. The actions, however, cannot
be stopped by Break. It may be executed by any user. What files the
user can access with the command depends on the user's capabilities.
If your need is only to list spool files, use the LISTSPF command.
SPOOLF O@;SHOW, for example, must retrieve each SPFDIR entry and write it
back. It locks the SPFDIR and JMAT tables for the duration of the
command execution. On a system that has several thousand spool files,
this can take tens of minutes.
During table locking, any of a number of vital user-initiated actions are
prohibited, depending upon the status of the SPFDIR and JMAT tables.
Among those that may be prohibited are:
* output spool file activity
* job logon
* spool file creation
* spooler processes attempting to obtain files to print
* session logon or logoff
As the number of spool files on the system increases, this locking period
may become lengthy. In extreme cases, locking may continue for tens of
minutes.
In addition, this use of SPOOLF defaults to ;ALTER and changes any spool
file in the DELPND state back to its previous state, usually to READY or
sometimes to PRINT.
LISTSPF also performs table-locking, but the duration of the locking is
brief (less than one minute on a system that has several thousand
spoolfiles) and does not become excessive. Nor does LISTSPF produce any
subtle side-effects. Finally, it generates the same display as SPOOLF
O@;SHOW.
