Creates and activates a new spooler process to handle spool files destined for the specified logical device number, device name, or device class. Syntax | |
REC REC I32 I32
AIFSPPSTART (overall_status, spooler_device, q_state, user_id);
|
Parameters | |
- overall_status
record by reference (required) Returns the overall status of the call. A zero indicates a successful call. A negative value indicates an error in the overall call. A positive value indicates a warning. Refer to appendix A for meanings of status values. Record type: status_type (Refer to appendix B.) - spooler_device
record by reference (required) Passes the logical device number (LDEV), device name, or device class for which the spooling process is to be initiated. An LDEV number must be converted into an ASCII character string before being passed to this routine. The name should be left-justified and padded with blanks. Array type: device_name_type (Refer to appendix B.) - q_state
32-bit signed integer by reference (optional) Passes a value used to indicate whether the spooling queue is to be enabled or disabled when the spooler process is initiated. The default is Openq for starting a spooler process. If Shutq is specified, it prevents users from generating spool files for that device. It does not prevent the user from printing previously generated spool files.
The valid inputs and their meanings are as follows: - 0
No change to the current q_state of the spooling process - 1
Openq (default) - 2
Shutq
Default: 1 - user_id
32-bit signed integer by value (optional) The user ID assigned to a vendor at the time of purchase of the Architected Interface Facility: Operating System product.
If it is not passed, the caller must have previously called
AIFACCESSON. Default: 0
Operation Notes | |
An Openq is done by default when AIFSPPSTART is invoked, unless the q_state parameter specifies Shutq. AIFSPPSTART is the programmatic interface for executing the commands STARTSPOOL and SPOOLER dev;START. |
