User Facilities and Control

With CA Spool, users can:

Change spool file attributes including the class, form number, FCB, file name, and so on.
Change printer selection criteria, which allows other classes to be processed.
Route spool files to another printer, to JES2 or JES3, to another CA Spool system, or to another remote system.
Re-queue processed spool files for reprinting
Intervene during automatic printer handling which allows a user to halt a printer, backspace or forwardspace a printer, and so on.

Users can control CA Spool by using:

The Menu System or the Console system, using an ordinary 3270-type VTAM-controlled display terminal
The operator panel on SCS printers in SNA environments
The Advanced Communication Interface, which allows any installation to further automate its operation or develop its own user dialogue.
