APPEND-SPOOLING-FILE

@APPEND-SPOOLING-FILE <peripheral file name>, <file name>, <no. of copies>, <text> [, <printing message?>]

Append one or more copies of a file to a spooling queue.

<peripheral file name>

name of spooling device.

<file name>

the file to be appended.

<no. of copies>

(default = 1, decimal) number of copies to be output on the spooling device.

<text>

any printable characters terminated by an apostrophe. The text is printed on the error device when file output is started (no text is specified by an ').

<printing message?>

(default = NO) YES = wait for a @START-PRINT after printing <text>. This specification overrides @DEFINE-SPOOLING-CONDITIONS. NO = the text is printed on the error device only if @DEFINE-SPOOLING-CONDITIONS specifies print.

Rules:

1. Permitted for all users.
2. If no <text> is specified, the last parameter is ignored.

Example:

@APPEND-SPOOLING-FILE LINE-PRINTER, F-1,, MOUNT-FORM-1', YES

One copy of the file F-1 is appended to the spooling queue to LINE-PRINTER. The message "MOUNT-FORM-1" is output on the error device before the printing starts. The spooling program the waits for @START-PRINT.
