Listing Input and Output Spool Files
To display information about one or more spool files, use one of these:
* the command LISTSPF
* the commands SHOWIN and SHOWOUT
These produce a listing of input and output spool files and their
characteristics.
The LISTSPF command provides more information than the SHOWIN and SHOWOUT
commands and the display for LISTSPF is different from the SHOWIN/SHOWOUT
display. The LISTSPF command display both input and output spool files.
With LISTSPF, you can request a particular group of spool files from the
specified set by using the SELEQ parameter, you can specify more than the
default information by using the DETAIL parameter, and you can display a
summary by using the STATUS parameter.
The NMS assigns a unique SPOOLID number to each spool file. Only spool
files get SPOOLID numbers. Spool files are no longer assigned DFID
numbers. Only unspooled device files are assigned DFID numbers. DFID
and SPOOLID numbers can have the same numeric value because they are kept
in separate tables.
When you use LISTSPF, you see the SPOOLID number. This number ranges
from 1 to 9,999,999. (A DFID number ranges from 1 to 32767).
To list your input and output spool files, enter:
LISTSPF @
To list spool file O2050 with a two line description, enter:
LISTSPF O2050 ;DETAIL
NOTE If you use the SHOWIN or SHOWOUT commands, you may get both the
SPOOLID and the DFID numbers depending on your parameters. See the
MPE/iX Commands Reference Manual Volumes 1 and 2 (32650-60115) for
details.
