<h1 class="topictitle1">Spooling writers</h1>
|
||
|
|
<div><p>A writer is an i5/OS™ program that takes spooled files from an output
|
||
|
|
queue and produces them on an output device. The spooled files that have
|
||
|
|
been placed on a particular output queue will remain stored in the server
|
||
|
|
until a writer is started to the output queue.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The writer takes spooled files one at a time from the output queue, based
|
||
|
|
on their priority. The writer processes a spooled file only if its entry
|
||
|
|
on the output queue indicates that it has a ready (RDY) status. You can display
|
||
|
|
the status of a particular spooled file using the Work with Output Queue (<span class="cmdname">WRKOUTQ</span>)
|
||
|
|
command.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>If the spooled file has a ready status, the writer takes the entry from
|
||
|
|
the output queue and prints the specified job or file separators or both,
|
||
|
|
followed by the output data in the file. If the spooled file does not have
|
||
|
|
a ready status, the writer leaves the entry on the output queue and goes on
|
||
|
|
to the next entry. In most cases the writer will continue to process spooled
|
||
|
|
files (preceded by job and file separators) until all files with a ready status
|
||
|
|
have been taken from the output queue.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The <span class="parmname">AUTOEND</span> parameter on the start writer commands
|
||
|
|
determines whether the writer continues to wait for new spooled files to become
|
||
|
|
available to be written, end after processing one file, or end after all spooled
|
||
|
|
files with ready status have been taken from the output queue.</p>
