Displaying the Status of the Input/Output Devices
Use the NMS command SPOOLER with the parameter SHOW or the command
SHOWDEV. This displays the status of the spooling process associated with
the device(s) or class(es) specified. To display the status of all
devices in class PP, enter:
SPOOLER PP;SHOW
The displays for SPOOLER...;SHOW and SHOWDEV look different but they
display some of the same information. SPOOLER...;SHOW displays more
information for spooling processes than SHOWDEV does.
* The SPOOLER...;SHOW field QSTATE matches the SHOWDEV field AVAIL.
* The SPOOLER...;SHOW field OWNERSHIP matches the SHOWDEV field
OWNERSHIP.
If you use the SHOW parameter, the display shows the current state of the
selected spooler(s) at the time the command executor completes processing
the command. This means that the spooler(s) may be in a pending (have
not completed requested operation) state rather than a requested state.
If this is true, an asterisk (*) precedes the state of the process on the
display.
