Displaying the Status of the Input/Output Devices
Use the NMS command SPOOLER with the parameter SHOW or the command
SHOWDEV.
This displays the status of the spooling process associated with the
device(s) or class(es) specified. To display the status of all devices
in class PP, enter:
SPOOLER PP;SHOW
The displays for SPOOLER...;SHOW and SHOWDEV look different but they
display some of the same information. SPOOLER...;SHOW displays more
information for spooling processes than SHOWDEV does.
* The SPOOLER...;SHOW field QSTATE matches the SHOWDEV field AVAIL.
* The SPOOLER...;SHOW field OWNERSHIP matches the SHOWDEV field
OWNERSHIP.
NOTE If you use the SHOW parameter, the display shows the current state
of the selected spooler(s) at the time the command executor
completes processing the command. This means that the spooler(s)
may be in a pending (have not completed requested operation) state
rather than a requested state. If this is true, an asterisk (*)
precedes the state of the process on the display.
