Initiates the spooler process for a device. (CM)
STARTSPOOL {ldev[;SHUTQ]} {devclass }
ldev The logical device number of a spooled device. When the spooler gains control of the specified device, it controls spooling to it as well as to all device classes which reference the device. devclass The device class specified in the I/O configuration. When used, it applies to all devices belonging to the class specified. SHUTQ May be specified with the ldev parameter only. The spooler will print files waiting in the queue for device ldev, but prevents the creation of new spoolfiles.
To start the spooling process for a specified device, issue the STARTSPOOL command with the ldev parameter. When devclass is used with STARTSPOOL, the command applies to all devices that belong to the device class specified. It would be as though a STARTSPOOL command were issued for each individual device. This command may be issued from a session, job, in BREAK, or from a program. Pressing [Break] has no effect on this command. It may be issued only at the console, unless distributed to users with the ALLOW or ASSOCIATE commands.
To start spooling all output to logical device 6, enter STARTSPOOL 6 To start spooling output to all devices in class LP, enter STARTSPOOL LP To start spooling on logical device 6 while preventing the creation of any new spoolfiles, enter STARTSPOOL 6;SHUTQ
