Performing Routine Spooler Operations Using
Spoolcom
Displaying the Status of Spooler Components
Spoolcom can display the status of collectors, printers, print processes, the spooler
routing structure, and the spooler itself, as well as any spooler job you own.
Table 14-4. Spoolcom Commands for Displaying Spooler Component Status

Spooler
You can use these commands from a TACL or Spoolcom prompt, or a command file.
For example, to display the status of the spooler process, enter the Spoolcom SPOOLER
command at the TACL prompt:
14> SPOOLCOM SPOOLER
SPOOLER
$SPLS
Spoolcom displays the spooler process status and returns you to the TACL program.
Your spooler subsystem has many printers, jobs, and related routing structures.
Therefore, to display only specific information, specify a single entity such as a job
number, the name or number of a printer, or a location name:
1. Use Peruse to list your spooler jobs in the spooler system, and the job location.
For example, this display shows that your job is number 566 at location #HT4:
JOB
BATCH STATE PAGES COPIES PRI HOLD LOCATION
566
_
2. Exit Peruse, and use the Spoolcom LOC command to display the status of the
printer that is to print your job.
For example, to find the location assigned to printer #HT4 and the jobs in its queue:
15> SPOOLCOM LOC #HT4
LOCATION
#HT4.DEFAULT
JOB
LOCATION
364
#HT4.DEFAULT
513
