Produces a listing of input and output spool files.
LISTSPF [[IDNAME=] { spoolid }]
{(spoolid [,spoolid ]...)}
[[;SELEQ=]select_eq ]
{^indirect_file }
[{;DETAIL}]
{;STATUS}
spoolid One or more spoolfile IDs: #Innnn for input
spoolfiles or #Onnnn for output spoolfiles.
These IDs are assigned by the spooling
subsystem at spoolfile creation time. The
"#" is optional. So is the "O" if you are
displaying output spoolfiles; that is, if
neither [#]O nor [#]I is specified, then [#]O
is assumed.
o If you specify multiple spoolfiles, you
must separate them with commas and enclose
them in parentheses. For example:
LISTSPF (288,332,405);DETAIL
o You may use the symbol "@" to specify all
spoolfiles.
o You may use the symbol "O@" to specify all
output spoolfiles.
o You may use the symbol "I@" to specify all
input spoolfiles.
o If "@", "O@", or "I@" is specified, it must
be the only value supplied. "@", "O@", and
"I@" are mutually exclusive.
The default is all the spoolfiles created by
the current <user>.<account>. The default
spoolid for the console user is all the
spoolfiles on the system.
If you specify duplicate spoolids, the system
displays a warning message.
select-eq The selection equation is used as a filter
on the set of spoolfiles selected. Only
spoolfiles whose attributes satisfy all
filter requirements will be listed.
For example, you use the following command to
display all the output spool files from
user.account that have less than 100 pages:
LISTSPF O@;SELEQ=[(OWNER=user.acct)AND (PAGES,100)]
If you are not an SM, OP, AM or console user,
the following command displays all the output
files in your default group with a priority
greater than 2 that were created before
September 30, 1994:
LISTSPF O@;SELEQ[(PRI>2) AND(DATE<09/30/94)]
You must begin and end a selection equation
with square brackets ([ and ]), and enclose
parameters and their values in parentheses. The
format of selection equations is shown below.
Read the ::= symbol as "can be replaced by".
<select-eq> ::= [<equation>]
<equation> ::= {(<equation>) }
{(NOT <equation>) }
{<equation><AND><equation> }
{<equation><OR><equation> }
{ }
{ {> } }
{ {>+} }
{ {< } }
{parm {<+} value }
{ {<>} }
{ {+ } }
AND takes precedence over OR.
The parameter (parm) may be one of the following
attributes of the spoolfile to be altered/deleted.
DEV Ldev number, device name, or device class
name. Wildcarding is supported for device
name and device class name.
FILEDES Formal file designator for the spoolfile.
For example, if you enter the file equation
below and print to it, "EPOCLONG" becomes the
spoolfile's FILEDES.
FILE EPOCLONG;DEV=EPOC;ENV=LPLONG.ENV.SYS
PRINT MYFILE,*EPOCLONG
Wildcarding is supported.
NOTE: This keyword supports selection on the
null string by entering FILEDES= "" (You may
also use single quotes). You must include
such a construct if you specifically want to
select such an attribute. Note that "" is
not the same as " ". The blank is
significant.
SPOOLID Spoolfile identifier number in the format
#Onnnn or #Innnn.
The "#" is optional; but if it is used, an O
or I must also be used. If it is not used,
the "O" is also optional for output
spoolfiles; that is 123 = #O123. The valid
range of spoolids is from 1 to 9999999.
PAGES Number of pages in spoolfile (if known).
A positive integer number is expected.
NOTE: This attribute does not apply to input
spoolfiles; therefore, any logical
<condition> involving the attribute always
returns FALSE when tested against an input
spoolfile.
FORMID Form name. Wildcarding is supported.
(The FORMID is an ASCII string up to 8
characters, the first of which must be a
letter.) See the NOTES accompanying the
FILEDES and PAGES description.
STATE READY, ACTIVE, OPEN, CREATE, PRINT, PROBLM,
DELPND, SPSAVE, DEFER, XFER.
JOBNAME Job or session name under which the spoolfile
was created. The job name can consist of up
to 8 alphanumeric characters, the first of
which must be a letter.
For job input spoolfiles, the JOBNAME and
JOBNUM shown are those allocated to that job,
NOT those of the job or session which
streamed it.
Wildcarding is supported.
The JOBNAME=@ parameter is a different use of the
@ symbol in that it wildcards an optional field
and the omission of this optional parameter
indicates that all entries are displayed whether
or not a job name exists.
DISP Disposition, SPSAVE or PURGE. See the NOTE
accompanying the PAGES description.
COPIES Number of copies. Minimum is 1, maximum is
65535. See the NOTE accompanying the PAGES
description.
PRI Output priority (minimum is 0, maximum is 14),
or input priority (minimum is 1, maximum is
14). See the NOTE accompanying the PAGES
description.
JOBNUM Job or session number under which the spoolfile
was created, for example: #S257 or #J329 (the
"#" is optional). The limits are 1 and
16,383.
Limited wildcarding is supported; J@ accepts
all jobs, S@ all sessions.
RECS Number of records in the spoolfile. A positive
integer is expected.
OWNER The user under which the spoolfile was created.
The format of the OWNER is <user>.<account>.
If the account is not specified, the user's
current account is assumed. Wildcarding is
supported.
JOBABORT Select based on whether this is the $STDLIST of a
job which aborted when an error was
encountered but no "CONTINUE" was in effect.
Valid values are "TRUE" and "FALSE". Only
"=" and "<>" are allowed as relational
operators. See the NOTE accompanying the
PAGES description.
DATE Creation date in the format mm/dd/yy or
mm/dd/year. Note that the year can be in the
form of "yy", as in 10/10/88, or in the form
of "year", as in 10/10/1988; both are legal
syntax for the DATE parameter.
indirect_file Specifies the name of a file containing the
selection equation. It must be preceded by a
caret (^). The selection equation contained
in the file may not exceed 509 characters in
length, including the brackets in which it
must reside. There is no restriction on the
indirect file code. If the record size
exceeds 509, only 509 characters per record
are read and a warning is issued.
Backreferencing to a formal file designator
is also allowed for an indirect_file name;
that is, ^*filename is also allowed. Any
file is accepted as an indirect_file, unless
the file system returns an error from FOPEN
or FREAD.
There is no limit to the number of records in
the indirect_file, only the total character
count. Records are processed as follows:
Leading and trailing blanks are stripped. If
the last non-blank character is an ampersand
(&), it is also stripped; otherwise one blank
is added back to the end of the record as a
delimiter. The character count of the record
is added to that of the records processed
previously. If the total character count
exceeds 509, an error is returned. If the
total is less than 509, the current record is
appended to previous records. This process
repeats until either 509 characters have been
counted or the end-of-file is detected.
Records terminating with or without
ampersands may be mixed as desired in the
indirect file.
If the resulting string is <= 509 characters,
it is parsed. If the parser detects a syntax
error, or if any non-blank character follows
the closing bracket (]) of the SELEQ, an
error is returned and the SELEQ is not
processed.
DETAIL Produces a two-line description of the specified
spoolfile(s). The default is a one-line
display (not detailed).
STATUS LISTSPF, by default, displays a listing of selected
spoolfiles, followed by a statistical summary
of those spoolfiles, known as the STATUS
display.
Specification of the STATUS option with no
other parameters causes only the STATUS
summary to be displayed. The STATUS option
is ignored (and status is displayed after the
spoolfile listing) if it is used in
combination with any other parameters.
LISTSPF enables users to produce a list of spoolfile information
without having to look for it within a list that includes other
files. The display shows output spoolfiles followed by input
spoolfiles, and finally a summary status display.
Command parameters are divided into three groups: selection, detail
and status.
o The selection group allows you to limit the display of
spoolfiles to a subset of the overall group of spoolfiles
on the system.
o The detail parameter displays more than the default information
on the files that have been selected.
o The status parameter, when used without other parameters,
displays summary status only.
You may combine these parameters as desired, except for the
DETAIL and STATUS parameters, which are mutually exclusive.
This command displays status information for one or more
spoolfiles. The information reflects the status at the time the
command is entered. It appears on the standard list device
unless you redirect the output to a file using CI I/O redirection.
Within device or device class, READY, CREATE, PRINT, and XFER
state output spoolfiles are displayed first, sorted by priority
and then by date and time. Output spool files in DEFER, PROBLM,
or SPSAVE states are shown next sorted by order of state and
then priority and time.
The first line of the display for LISTSPF has the
following format. Each column is explained below.
SPOOLID JOBNUM FILEDES PRI COPIES DEV STATE RSPFN OWNER
#O1234567 J12345 ABCDEFGH 14 1 12345678 CREATE RSPFN USER.ACCT1
#I1234567 S12345 1 127 ABCDEFGH READY
0 ACTIVE
OPEN
PRINT
DEFER
SPSAVE
PROBLM
DELPND
XFER
SPOOLID The unique spoolfile identifier.
JOBNUM The job or session identifier of the job
or session that created the spoolfile. The
exception to this is that the JOBNUM for
JOB input spoolfile is the job number
assigned the process whose $STDIN is (or will
be) this input spoolfile, as opposed to the
JOBNUM of the process which streamed the job.
FILEDES The formal file designator for the spoolfile.
Printing to a file equation such as FILE
EPOCLONG;DEV=EPOC;ENV=LP88LONG.HPENV.SYS
creates spoolfiles whose formal designator is
"EPOCLONG".
DEV The LDEV, device name or device class name
that is the destination of the spoolfile.
PRI The input or output priority of the spoolfile.
COPIES The total number of copies of the spoolfile to
be printed.
STATE The current state of the spoolfile. READY and
DELPND apply to input spoolfiles as well as
output spoolfiles.
CREATE An output spoolfile is being created;
that is, an output spooled device has
been opened and is being written to,
generating an output spoolfile. When
the device is closed, the spoolfile
enters the READY state.
READY An output spoolfile is ready to be
printed or an input spoolfile is
ready to be accessed.
ACTIVE An input spoolfile is active when it
is being read from a STREAM file or a
spooled device to disk.
OPEN A JOB input spoolfile (the $STDIN
for a batch job) is being accessed by
the job's CI process.
PRINT An output spoolfile is being printed.
NOTE: If this command is entered while a
trailer is being printed, you may
observe two spoolfiles in the PRINT
state at the same time for the same
device. This is because the spooler
must open its next file to print
before printing the trailer of its
current one. (This is required to
manage headers and trailers
properly). Also note that you see
only one file in the PRINT state
during a trailer if the next file is
another copy of the current file.
DEFER An output spoolfile is in the defer
state.
SPSAVE The SPSAVE option was specified when
the spoolfile was created or at any
time before it would have been
deleted after its final copy was
printed. That final copy has been
printed, so the spoolfile is now in
this state instead of being deleted.
PROBLM The target device of the spoolfile
does not match any device name or
device class on the system. This
usually occurs because the spoolfile
has been restored to a system which
has a different configuration than
the system from which the spoolfile
was stored.
DELPND Either the spooler has printed the
final copy of the output spoolfile
and is waiting for one or more users
to close the spoolfile before purging
it, or someone has requested that the
spoolfile be deleted (using the
DELETESPOOLFILE or the
SPOOLF...;DELETE command) and the
file management routines are waiting
for the last FCLOSE of the spoolfile
before purging it.
XFER The file is being sent from this node
to another node. This state is
available to applications which
transmit spoolfiles over a network.
Use of the state is option.
RSPFN The column under each letter R, S, P, F, and N,
contains the respective letter as a flag
indicating something about the spoolfile
described in that row.
R indicates a restartable spooled job file.
S indicates that SPSAVE disposition has been
specified for this spoolfile. The spoolfile
will be saved in the OUT.HPSPOOL account
after the last copy is printed.
P indicates that the spoolfile is private.
F indicates that the spoolfile has a forms
message associated with it, a FORMID, or
both, and therefore, requires special forms
on which to print. If a FORMID is present,
its identity can be seen, using the ;DETAIL
option, on the second line of the display for
the given spoolfile.
N indicates that the spoolfile is not complete
because insufficient account, group or system
disk space was available when the spoolfile
was created or the system aborted while the
spoolfile was being created.
OWNER This is the fully qualified name of the creator
of the spoolfile.
The optional second line of the display has the following
format. Each column of the display is explained below.
FORMID JOBNAME COPSRM SECTS RECS PAGES DATE TIME
TESTJOB 1 250 500 25 12/20/88 8:39
FORMID An 8 character display, the first of which is a
letter. If an "F" appears in the RSPFN
column but this field is blank, it means that
the file has a forms message that is not part
of a FORMID specification.
JOBNAME The job or session name of the user who created
the spoolfile.
COPSRM The number of copies of this file that remain to
be printed, including any currently printing
copy.
SECTS The number of sectors required by the spoolfile.
RECS The number of records in the spoolfile.
PAGES The number of physical pages in the spoolfile.
This quantity is accurate only for CIPER
protocol, HP2680/88 page printers, and
HP5000/F1xx page printers, and then only
if the device has printed at least one
complete copy. The device keeps track of the
pages as they are printed and returns the
correct count at the end of the copy. Until
the actual count is known, an approximate
count -- calculated as <number of
records>/60, and denoted by a leading tilde
(~) --is displayed.
NOTE:
For serial printers, even the count without
the tilde is approximate because it is
calculated as a best guess from the spoolfile
data. It is not returned by the device
because serial printers have no provisions
for reporting this information.
DATE The date that the file first entered the "ready"
state (mm/dd/yy>).
TIME The time that the file first entered the "ready"
state in 24-hour form (hh:mm).
The status display has the following format:
INPUT SPOOL FILES OUTPUT SPOOL FILES
ACTIVE= 1; CREATE = 2; READY = 3;
OPEN = 2; DEFER = 1; SELECTED = 4;
READY = 3; DELPND = 0; SPSAVE = 1;

PROBLM = 0;
TOTAL IN FILES = 6; TOTAL OUT FILES = 8;
IN SECTORS = 144; OUT SECTORS = 13090;
OUTFENCE = 6
OUTFENCE = 10 FOR LDEV 6
This display consists of three parts. the values in the first two parts
represent only those spoolfiles selected for display;
The itemized count of spoolfiles in each of the various states.
They are shown in two groups, input spoolfiles to the left of the
display and output spoolfiles to the right. Of these, only
SELECTED is not a state. Instead, SELECTED shows the total count
of output spoolfiles in the PRINT state or READY state, and whose
output priority is higher than the global outfence.
The total number of input and output spoolfiles and the total
sector count for all the spoolfiles displayed.
The global outfence and any device-specific outfences.
This command may be issued from a Session, Job, in BREAK, or from a
program. It is Breakable. Only files to which the user has access are
displayed.
