Altering a Spool File 

To alter the attributes of a spool file, you may use either of these
approaches:

   *   Use the command ALTSPOOLFILE, which allows you to change the
       number of copies to <= 127.

   *   Use command SPOOLF with the parameter ALTER, which allows you to
       change the number of copies to > 127.

The command ALTSPOOLFILE...;DEFER changes a file's priority to 0 and
leaves the file in the Ready state.  The SPOOLF command with the ;DEFER
parameter places the file in the deferred state but leaves the priority
unchanged.

To change the priority of output spool file O2050 to 9, enter:

     SPOOLF O2050;ALTER;PRI=9

or

     SPOOLF O2050;PRI=9

To save spool file O2050 in the HPSPOOL account after the last copy has
printed, enter:

     SPOOLF O2050;ALTER;SPSAVE

or

     SPOOLF O2050;SPSAVE

To change to a total number of copies greater than 127, use SPOOLF. For
example, to change the number of copies of spool file O2050 to 130,
enter:

     SPOOLF O2050;ALTER;COPIES=130

or

     SPOOLF O2050;COPIES=130
