READER RDR PRINTER PRT PURCH PCB indicates that reader files are to be changed.
indicates that printer files are te be changed.
indicates that punch files are to be changed. CLASS c1 designates an existing class. "c1" is alphameric field from A to Z, 0 to 9 or *.
a one-character
spoolid is spoolid number of the file that is to be changed. Each
file-has a unique spoolid.
ALL changes all files belonging to the user. CLASS c2 designates the new class of the file. HOLD prevents the printing, punching, or reading of a file by putting it in a user HOLD status until released by the ROHOLD operand. ROHOLD releases the specified spool file currently held by the user HOLD status.
DIST distcode
changes the distribution code of the file. "distcode" is a
one to eight character alpha.eric identification that appears
on the output separator of printer or punch output instead of
the identification specified in the Vft/370 directory. The
distribution code is changed for this file only, and does not
affect other files nor cbange the nermal user code. SYS prevents the printing or punching of the file by putting it in
a system hold status until released by using NOSYS. RAME releases the specified spool file currently being held by a
system hold status.
Note: 1 system hold has no effect on the processing of reader files. {
fn [ftl} dsname changes the name of the file. For CftS files, the specified
filenaae (and, optionally, filetype) becoae the new file
identification. For a non-CftS file, the specified dsnaae (a 1
to 24-character field) becomes the new file identification.
Note: If the NAftE function is selected and only fn is specified, ft is set to blanks. The dsnaae specification
allows a user to specify a file naae suitable for OS such as SYS1.SYSLIB.ftYftAC. FLASH name nn
specifies the flashing status of the file. The name identifies a foras overlay sheet contained in the 3800 printer. Na.e may be varied from one-to-four characters. The number nn, specifies the number of copies to be flashed. This
flash count may range from 00 to 99. A flash count of zero is
the default, which indicates flashing is not desired.
