Partial Print Screen

The partial Print prompt screen contains the attributes of the new spool file and can be displayed in any of three different formats: SHORT, FULL, and DEBUG.

• SHORT means that only a few of the many attributes available will be shown on the panel. The attributes shown are the most common and sufficient for most cases.
• FULL displays all attributes that can be specified for a spool file. As they cannot all be shown on one panel, scrolling is available using PF7 and PF8.
• DEBUG is a special way of showing the attributes in hexadecimal. It should usually only be used by technical personnel for troubleshooting.

You choose between the three different displays by moving the cursor to the field SHORT FULL DEBUG. Point to the relevant option and press ENTER.

You can then modify the fields (scroll if necessary). When you finish, press ENTER to create the new file.

• If the panel was invoked by the NEWCOPY command, the contents of the old file are automatically copied to the new file, after which they are both permanently closed.
• If the panel was invoked by a PARTIAL PRINT command, the new file is now open for output. Use PARTIAL PRINT commands (which are the commands PB, PE, PL, PP) to copy data from the existing file to the new file. When you leave the partial print facility (by pressing PF3 or PF4, or by entering the command PC) the files are closed.
