LISTSPF

FILEDES

Indicates the formal or actual ￿le designator for the spool

 

￿le. The name of a ￿le equation becomes its formal ￿le

 

designator. For instance, prin ting to a ￿le equation, suc h

 

as FILE EPOCLONG;DEV=EPOC;ENV=LP88LONG.HPENV.SYS ,

 

creates spool ￿les whose formal designator is EPOCLONG .

PRI

Indicates the input or output priorit y of the spool ￿le.

COPIES

Indicates the total n umber of copies of the spool ￿le to be

 

printed.

DEV

Indicates the spool ￿le's destination as an LDEV, device

 

name, or device class name. LDEVs in tentionally appear

 

with leading zeroes to sim ulate a device name.

STATE

Indicates the current state of the spool ￿le as described

 

below:

 

CREATE: An output spool ￿le is being created; an output

 

spooled device has been opened and is being written to,

 

which generates an output spool ￿le. When the device

 

closes, the spool ￿le en ters the ready state.

 

READY: An output spool ￿le is ready to be prin ted or an

 

input spool ￿le is ready to be accessed.

 

ACTIVE: An input spool ￿le is being read from a stream

 

￿le or a spooled device to a disk.

 

OPEN: A JOB input spool ￿le (the $STDIN for a batch job)

 

is being accessed by the job's CI process, or a data input

 

spool ￿le is being accessed b y a process.

 

PRINT: An output spool ￿le is prin ting.

 

DEFER: An output spool ￿le is in a deferred state.

 

SPSAVE: Either y ou speci￿ed the SPSAVE option when you

 

created the spool ￿le or when the spool ￿le w ould have

 

been deleted after its ￿nal cop y printed. The ￿nal copy

 

has printed, so the spool ￿le is no w in this state instead of

 

being deleted.
