Introduction to MPE XL for MPE V System Administrators

Chapter 9  Managing Printed Output--The Native Mode Spooler 
[REV BEG]

Overview 

The Native Mode Spooler (NMS) is an MPE XL facility designed to manage
both input and output spoolfiles.  Output spoolfiles go in the OUT group
of the HPSPOOL account and input spoolfiles in the IN group of the
HPSPOOL account.  Consequently, most commands which can be used on other
files can be used on spoolfiles.

NMS makes the SPOOK utility, used to manage spoolfiles on MPE V/E and on
pre-A.40.00 versions of MPE XL, obsolete.

Three completely new commands for NMS are:

     LISTSPF
     SPOOLER
     SPOOLF

Other commands from MPE V/E and/or MPE XL which may affect spoolfiles
include:

     BUILD              COPY
     LISTF              LISTFILE
     FILE               PURGE
     JOB                RENAME
     OPENQ              SHUTQ
     OUTFENCE           LISTEQ
     STARTSPOOL         ALTSPOOLFILE
     STOPSPOOL          DELETESPOOLFILE
     SUSPENDSPOOL       SHOWIN
     RESUMESPOOL        SHOWOUT
     HEADON             HEADOFF
