Native Mode Spooler Reference Manual

STORE 

Linked spool files reside in the HPSPOOL account, but users in other
accounts create them.

   *   If you are the creating user, you can store your own spool files
       even though they reside in HPSPOOL and not your account.

   *   If you are an account manager, you can store any spool files
       created by a user of your account.

   *   If you have system manager (SM) or system operator (OP)
       capability, you can store all linked spool files.

When you store a file on tape using the STORE command with the PURGE
option (STORE...;PURGE), the system purges the spool file after storing
it.  The system also deletes the spool file directory (SPFDIR) entry and
deletes any checkpoint files associated with the spool file.

If a spooler process finishes its last copy of a spool file that is in
the process of being stored on tape, the spooler cannot delete the spool
file.  The file management routines leave the file in the DELPND state,
where it remains until any one of the following occurs:

   *   Someone opens and closes the spool file (for example, with the
       PRINT command to display the file on $STDLIST).

   *   You use STORE with the PURGE option.

   *   The spool file is put into a Ready state by raising the number of
       copies with the command SPOOLF...;ALTER ;COPIES= number where
       number exceeds the number already printed.
