Controlling CA Spool Files

The tasks involved in controlling CA Spool files include:

• Selecting spool files that are ready for output processing
• Purging processed spool files after a predetermined number of hours
• Recovering from abnormal application program termination.

These tasks are handled automatically by CA Spool and require no manual intervention.

Files left open are closed automatically.

Concurrently with these activities, CA Spool executes commands requested by terminal operators or the system operator.
