PSS Utility Functions

The following are descriptions of PSS utility functions.

DELETE filename filenumber

Deletes the specified print file from the PSS spool file, ADROUT. You must specify a valid file name and file number.

EXPANDDIR system-name entries

Increases the maximum number of entries reserved in the directory of the spool file. See 73.

system-name

Three-character system-name used as a prefix to the VLS member name for the directory.

entries

Maximum number of entries in the spool directory (9999 maximum). The number requested must be greater than the current number of entries in the directory.

INDEX

Prints a report that lists all files on the PSS spool file, ADROUT.

INIT

Initializes the PSS spool file, ADROUT, and builds the directory.

LIBRARY

Produces the VLS-formatted index of the PSS library and space use statistics. The column for member names is 40 characters wide, regardless of the actual name length for the specified PSS file. Non-printable characters (except blanks) display as question marks (?).

PRINT filename filenumber action

Prints a file from the spool. You must specify a valid file name and file number. There are only two valid values for action:

KEEP

Retains the printed file on the spool.

DELETE

Removes the printed file from the spool.

RECOVERY

Deletes expired members from ADROUT. Generally, expired members are purged automatically, so RECOVERY is needed only if space is running low. However, if CICS is not recycled for long periods of time at your site, you should consider scheduling RECOVERY as a batch job.
