File Affinity

When a spool file is created, the application program may specify that the file has affinity to a single system in the MAS configuration. A spool file with affinity to a single system can only be printed on printers, or processed by application programs, on that system. However, the characteristics or status of the spool file may be altered by any system in the configuration. A file without system affinity can be processed by any system in the Multi-Access Spool (MAS) configuration. You can change the affinity of a spool file with the Reset File (TF) command.
