Controlling Access to Spooled Devices 

The commands described below control job and session access to, and the
status of, output spoolers.

Open the Output Spooler Queue 

The syntax for opening a queue and specifying an ldev (as shown) or a
devclass, is:

     OPENQ ldev 

Closing the Output Spooler Queue 

The syntax for closing a queue and specifying an ldev (as shown) or a
devclass, is:

     SPOOLER ldev[;SHUTQ]

or

     SHUTQ ldev 

Starting Output Spooling On a Device Class 

The syntax for starting output spooling on a device class is:

     SPOOLER devclass;START

or

     STARTSPOOL devclass 

Starting Output Spooling On a Device 

The syntax for starting output spooling on a device is:

     SPOOLER ldev;START[;SHUTQ]

or

     STARTSPOOL ldev[;SHUTQ]

If SHUTQ is specified, the spooler is started but its queue is shut.
This means the output spooler accepts files from the queue, but the queue
will not accept files from the input spooler.

Stopping Output Spooling On a Device Class 

The syntax for stopping output spooling on a device class is:

     SPOOLER devclass;STOP

or

     STOPSPOOL devclass 

Stopping Output Spooling On a Device 

The syntax for stopping output spooling on a device is:

     SPOOLER ldev;STOP[;OPENQ]

or

     STOPSPOOL ldev[;OPENQ]

The device now may be directly accessed.  If OPENQ is specified, the
output spooler is stopped, but the queue remains open.  This means the
output spooler no longer accepts files from the queue, but the queue
accepts files from the input spooler.

Suspending Output Spooling 

The syntax for temporarily stopping output spooling is:

     SPOOLER ldev;SUSPEND[;FINISH]

or

     SUSPENDSPOOL ldev[;FINISH]

Specifying FINISH ensures that an ACTIVE spoolfile will be allowed to
finish printing before the spooler is suspended.

Resuming Spooling 

The syntax for restarting a suspended spooler is:

     SPOOLER ldev;RESUME[;OFFSET=nn]

Use the OFFSET option to specify the spoolfile location where printing
will begin when the spoolfile begins to print.  A + sign preceeding the
offset value will begin printing forward the number of pages specified.
A - sign preceeding the offset value will begin printing back from the
number of pages specified.

The default is that the spooler begins where it left off.
