Native Mode Spooler Reference Manual

Enabling and Disabling Spooling 

Use the NMS command SPOOLER with the parameter OPENQ and the NMS command
SPOOLER with the parameter SHUTQ or the commands OPENQ and SHUTQ. [DEV=]
devname and ;SHOW are parameters for OPENQ and SHUTQ. Devname is the
device name of the spoolable device and is configured with the SYSGEN
utility.

These commands enable and disable spooling and spool queues for a
specified device, device name, or all devices belonging to a device
class.

To shut the spool queue for device name LDEV6, enter:

     SHUTQ LDEV6

or

     SPOOLER LDEV6;SHUTQ

To open the queue for logical device 6 and to show the state of the queue
and other information about logical device 6, enter:

     OPENQ 6;SHOW

or

     SPOOLER 6;OPENQ;SHOW

SHUTQ @ disables all spooling queues that are currently open and inhibits
the creation of any output spool files.

OPENQ @ opens all spooling queues that were open at the time of the last 
SHUTQ @ or that have been opened since then and have not been shut.  It
does not open all queues on the system.  You can think of OPENQ @ as a
global enabling of all device queues that are already open.

Suppose OPENQ @ is in effect (the default at boot time).  Consider the
following sequence:

     OPENQ 6    (Spools data to LDEV 6.)
     OPENQ 11   (Spools data to LDEV 11.)
     SHUTQ @    (Cannot spool data to any device)
     OPENQ 19   (Still cannot spool data to any device)
     SHUTQ 11   (Still cannot spool data to any device)
     OPENQ @    (Spools data to LDEVs 6 and 19 but not
                        LDEV 11 since LDEV 11's spool queue was
                        shut with the previous command)
