N ow press the ENTER key twice to return to edit mode.
Let's look at the lines in this EXEC.
&TRACEOFF
calls the EXEC 2 processor (a part of the VM/PC
system) to handle your EXEC. It also means that
you don't want the lines in the EXEC to be
displayed as they are executed. If you wanted them
displayed, you would use &TRACE ALL.
CP SPOOL PRINT COPY 5
is the command you use to get more than one copy
printed. In an EXEC, you must put "CP" in front of
this command. It stands for "Control Program," a
part of the VM/PC system. You don't need to know
which commands are CP commands when you type
this command at a terminal. But in an EXEC, you
do. It tells the EXEC processor to get ready for a
CP command.
PRINT WORK1 FILE
This command has the same format as when it is
entered at the terminal.
It
gives the filename and
filetype of the file you want printed.
CP SPOOL PRINT COPY 1
resets the number of copies printed to one.
&EXIT
is the last statement in an EXEC file.
Enter a FILE command. The EXEC is now on your disk.
How do you use it? Just type the filename MYPRINT on the
command line and press the ENTER key. A message will
show that five copies of your file are being printed.
Creating an EXEC is like creating a new command. Each
time you want five copies of this file printed, all you need do
is enter MYPRINT.
