User Instructions

This utility allows the user to send print files to the print queue, specifying the print class, number of copies, and disposition of the file after printing. It can also be used to scratch print files.

The first screen prompts for the library to be searched and the print mode, print class, and number of copies for files released to the print queue. The library and volume default to the user's SPOOLIB and SPOOLVOL values, but they may be changed by pressing PF(01).

Next the names of the files in the library are displayed. The user may choose to print and requeue, print and save, print and scratch, scratch only, or take no action. These options are selected by entering a letter in the space next to the file name. To change the library, press PF(01); press PF(16) to exit the program.

Programmer Instructions

Interactive use only.

Example of use

Allows users to easily control the print class, number of copies, and the spool library and volume.

Comments

Awkward; lacks GETPARMs. Would be much improved if a display option was available so the files could be identified.
