Copying a Spooler Job to an EDIT File
2. Start Peruse and examine your jobs on the queue:
Job number 97 is already on the queue waiting to print. The COBOL85 listing is job
number 150, which is the current job because it is the most recently spooled job on
the queue.
3. Use the LIST command to copy the job from the spooler to the spooler job file
named LISTFILE in your current subvolume:
Peruse copies job 150 to the LISTFILE file. This file now contains the COBOL85
listing and formatting control information.
The exclamation point (!) purges the LISTFILE file (if it exists) before the copy
begins. If you do not specify the exclamation point and LISTFILE already exists,
Peruse appends the spooler job to the file.
The LIST command in this example includes the COMPRESS keyword, which
specifies ASCII compression for the spooler job file. ASCII compression saves disk
space by compressing 8-bit ASCII characters into five bits each in the spooler job
file.
4. If you know that job 150 is your most recently spooled job, you can also enter the
above commands from your TACL prompt:
To copy two or more spooler jobs to the same spooler job file, issue a LIST
command for each spooler job, but include the exclamation point for only the first
LIST command. The second and subsequent spooler jobs are appended to the
spooler job file. This procedure is useful for concatenating several reports or listings
into a single spooler job file.
