SP Spool System

The SP spool system provides three major features:Dcapturing output sent to an LU for spooled printing,Dredirection of output between LUs, andDsystem error logging.

Most of the print spooling features of the SP spool system are superceded by those of the LP spool system described in Chapter 2, but are retained for backward compatibility. The SP spool system may be used to capture output destined for an LU into a file for printing using the LP spool system.

SP Runstring

To run SP, enter the following runstring:CI> SP [command]

where command is one of the commands described below. Command subparameters are separated by spaces or commas. If a command is not specified, the spool system enters interactive mode.

Commands

The following are the SP commands that can be entered in the SP runstring or at the •-" prompt when running SP interactively:

INStarts the spooling system. Needed only when the spooling system is inactive.ON[,–S sess][,lu][,[,options]]

Starts spooling for lu. The default is LU 6. All subsequent output to this LU is written into a temporary spool file (OUTSPOOLxx.SPL; xx is a spool system code). When spooling is stopped, the file is sent to the LU and the spool file is purged.

–ssess" can be specified by a superuser to start spooling for session number sess. By default, spooling is started for your session.

Valid options are NC, NF, BP, and SS as defined at the end of the command descriptions.
