<h4 id="rzalusched">Spooled output schedule (SCHEDULE) parameter</h4>
|
|
<p>The SCHEDULE parameter can be specified with one of three values to control
|
|
when the spooled file is available for a writer to produce the file. </p>
|
|
<dl>
|
|
<dt class="bold">*FILEEND</dt>
|
|
<dd>Specifies that the spooled file is made available to the writer when
|
|
the file is closed
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dt class="bold">*JOBEND</dt>
|
|
<dd>Specifies that the spooled file is made available to the writer when
|
|
the job that created the spooled file is ended
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dt class="bold">*IMMED</dt>
|
|
<dd>Specifies that the spooled file is made available to the writer when
|
|
the file is opened
|
|
</dd>
|
|
</dl>
|
|
<p><span class="bold">*JOBEND considerations</span></p>
|
|
<p>The SCHEDULE(*JOBEND) spooled files of a job are grouped together on their
|
|
output queues when the job completes. All SCHEDULE(*JOBEND) spooled files
|
|
of the same job that are grouped together on a queue are produced together
|
|
by the writer. Another spooled file can be added to the top of the queue
|
|
while the writer is producing a SCHEDULE(*JOBEND) spooled file. After a writer
|
|
produces one file of a job that is SCHEDULE(*JOBEND), it checks the following
|
|
file on the queue. If this file is from the same job and is also SCHEDULE(*JOBEND),
|
|
the writer produces it next. However, if the file is from a different job
|
|
or is not SCHEDULE(*JOBEND), the first file on the queue is produced next.</p>
|
|
<p>If you want your SCHEDULE(*JOBEND) spooled files grouped together on a
|
|
SEQ(*FIFO) output queue, you must be careful not to separate the spooled files.
|
|
File operations such as HLDSPLF, CHGSPLFA, and RLSSPLF are performed one
|
|
at a time (even from a Work with Output Queue (WRKOUTQ) display). If operations
|
|
to other files on the queue are done at the same time, your spooled files
|
|
can be separated on a SEQ(*FIFO) queue. If your SCHEDULE(*JOBEND) spooled
|
|
files separate, you can regroup them by changing their output priority with
|
|
the Change Job (CHGJOB) command.</p>
|
|
<p><span class="bold">*IMMED considerations</span></p>
|
|
<p>When a writer is producing a SCHEDULE(*IMMED) spooled file, it might catch
|
|
up to the program producing the output. When this happens, the writer must
|
|
wait for the program to produce more output. Because of this, you should
|
|
be careful using *IMMED for the schedule option. When this happens, the writer
|
|
cannot process other spooled files. Moreover, the device cannot be used for
|
|
any other work.</p>
|
|
<p>Normally, spooled files that are created with SCHEDULE(*IMMED) specified
|
|
are assigned a smaller internal buffer than spooled files that are created
|
|
with SCHEDULE(*JOBEND) or SCHEDULE(*FILEEND) specified. Using SCHEDULE(*IMMED)
|
|
to assign a smaller internal buffer might allow the spooled data to be produced
|
|
sooner, but can also adversely affect performance because more disk operations
|
|
are needed for the same amount of spooled data.</p>
|
|
<p>A large internal buffer is always used for spooled print files that use
|
|
certain special device requirements. Special device requirements include: </p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Defined characters</li>
|
|
<li>Graphics 4214</li>
|
|
<li>Graphics 4234</li>
|
|
<li>Graphics 522x</li></ul>
|
|
<p>Changing the SCHEDULE parameter of a spooled file with the CHGSPLFA command
|
|
does not affect the internal buffers used for that file.</p>
