In the previous format, spoolid is the spool file number of the job
to be purged from the batch virtual machine's job queue. For example,
the statement: PURGE READER 123
would purge 123 from the batch virtual machine's job queue.
To reorder individual spool files in the Batch Facility's job queue,
use the CP ORDER command: ORDER READER spoolid1 spoolid2 ••• In this format, spoolid1 and spoolid2 is the assigned spool file
identification of the jobs to be reordered.
The operator can determine which jobs are in the queue by using the CP QUERY command: QUERY READER ALL
This QUERY command lists the filenames
in the batch virtual machine's job queue.
them, using the ORDER command. I STOPPING THE BATCH VIRTUAL MACHINE
and filetypes of all the jobs
The operator can then reorder When you want to stop batch virtual machine execution after completion
of the current job, you can issue the HB immediate command and press the
attention key or equivalent to cause an attention interruption at any
time during the job. This causes the batch virtual machine to be logged
out at job completion. When Batch Facility virtual machine execution is to be stopped
immediately, but current files must be saved, you can use the CP SPOOL command, in the form SPOOL READER HOLD, and issue the CP LOGOFF command.
The HOLD option causes CP to retain the virtual machine's current
card reader file, so that when the Batch Facility is logged on again,
execution resumes at the beginning of the held reader file.
If an emergency shutdown should occur, all jobs in the batch reader
and all spool files are saved. SUPPORT OF THE 3800 PRINTER AS A REAL VM/370 SPOOLING DEVICE Virtual machines can print spool files on the 3800 printer. However,
the use of more than one translate table for printing a given file notes
an exception. Once the user starts to print a spool file with specific
character sets, the entire file must be printed with these character
sets. At any time, the user may change the characteristics of a spool
file it actually starts printing.
