Resumes suspended spooler output to a spooled device.
Operation Notes |
 |
If you specify only the ldev parameter,
the printer resumes printing at the beginning of the highest-priority
spoolfile. Otherwise, the printer resumes printing the previously
ACTIVE spoolfile.
Always overestimate the number of files or pages you need
when using the BACK
parameter, or underestimate the number when using the FORWARD
parameter. This is the only way to ensure getting all the output
you need, since partial pages and header pages affect the page count.
However, if you instruct the spooler to go BACK
further than the beginning of the file, an error message is displayed
on the system console and printing resumes at the beginning of the
file. Similarly, an error message is displayed if you instruct the
spooler to advance FORWARD
beyond the point where files exist. In this case, printing does
not resume until a new command is issued.
By using the SPOOK utility with mode control ON, you can determine
where each FOPEN
intrinsic occurs within a spoolfile. This is useful, for example,
when you are compiling, preparing, and running large programs, and
printing the entire output is unnecessary.

This command may be issued from a session, job, program, or

no effect on this command. It may be executed only at the console
unless distributed to users with the ALLOW
or ASSOCIATE
command.
