Initialization Options

Specify the following options in the PARM parameter of the EXEC statement in the procedure used to start CA Spool. If not specified, CA Spool prompts for options during initialization.

Use the OS Reply command to enter one or more of the following options:

• BUILDQ—Initiates a warm start and rebuilds the file queue.
• COLD—Initiates a cold start and formats the in-core file queue.
• FORMAT—Initiates a format cold start. CA Spool formats all its spool data sets, and initializes the in-core file queue.
• LIST—Produces a listing of the parameter data set.
• LOG—Initiates a CA Spool system log. This log records all the messages issued by CA Spool.
• NOFMT—Switches off the FORMAT option.
• NOLIST—Switches off the LIST option.
• NOLOG—Switches off the LOG option.
• SCAN—Initiates a syntactical check of the CA Spool parameter data set, after which CA Spool will terminate.
• WARM—Initiates a normal warm start.
• U—Initiates a normal warm start.
• NULL—Initiates a normal warm start. When CA Spool is successfully initiated, it enters into a waiting for work mode and is ready to process requests.
