<h4 id="rzalusplf">Spooled file</h4>
|
||
|
|
<p>Spooling is a system function that saves data in a database file for later
|
||
|
|
processing or printing. This data, which is saved and eventually printed,
|
||
|
|
is called a <span class="italic">spooled file</span> (or printer output file).
|
||
|
|
When spooling is used, spooled files are created from the application program,
|
||
|
|
from a system program, or by pressing the Print key. These files are put in
|
||
|
|
places called output queues.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Almost all application programs that generate printed output make use of
|
||
|
|
the spooling support provided with the iSeries™ server. Specifying SPOOL = *YES or
|
||
|
|
SPOOL = *NO on the SPOOL parameter of a printer file determines if spooling
|
||
|
|
support is requested.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Using the Print key to capture an image of a display screen almost always
|
||
|
|
results in a spooled file being created (SPOOL = *YES must be specified in
|
||
|
|
the printer file named in the workstation device description). Unless the
|
||
|
|
value has been changed, the default value for the SPOOL attribute in the QSYSPRT
|
||
|
|
printer file is *YES. When the Print key is pressed, the system looks at the
|
||
|
|
OUTQ parameter in the QSYSPRT printer file to determine which output queue
|
||
|
|
to send the spooled file to.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Spooling (SPOOL = *YES) has several advantages over direct output (SPOOL
|
||
|
|
= *NO in the printer file):</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>The user's display station remains available for work.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Other users can request printing work without having to wait for the printer
|
||
|
|
to become available.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>If special forms are required, you can have the spooled files sent to
|
||
|
|
a special output queue and printed at a time when the printer is not busy.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Because disk operations are much faster than printers, the system is used
|
||
|
|
efficiently.</li></ul>
