Chapter 2  Spooler and Spool File Management Tasks 

This chapter shows you how to use various commands and utilities to
accomplish spooler and spool file management tasks.  It deals primarily
with output spool files because input spool files are managed by the
system and generally don't require user intervention.  The topics in this
chapter include:

   *   spooler management tasks including starting, stopping, suspending
       and resuming a spooler, opening and shutting spool queues, and
       controlling user access to a spooled device.

   *   controlling the printing of report headers and trailers.

   *   printing on special forms.

   *   displaying information about specific spool files, a group of
       spool files, and a selected subset of spool files.

   *   altering a spool file, which includes changing its output device,
       priority, the number of copies and its deferred status, and how to
       print and delete spool files.

   *   transferring spool files between native mode systems using the
       STORE and RESTORE commands, and between compatibility mode and
       native mode systems using the SPFXFER utility.

   *   a discussion of spool file recovery at system startup.
