XPRE Command

The XPRE top line command returns a panel that lists Input Network entries from the preprocess queue and allow the user to update that network information. Logging in or logging out can be performed by entering a function code for the appropriate panel entry and pressing Enter. This command can also be used for prompting workstations and interrupting and resuming a network. Also, the XSPRE command displays the same (but abbreviated) information in a two-up format.

This function is available through the QM.6 Input Networks Prompt panel.

This command has the following format:

{XPRE|XSPRE}[,FILL=function]
            [,JOB={*|jobname|jobname*|jobnumber}]
            [,NW={*|network|network*}]
            [,STN={*|station|station*}]
            [,SUBID={*|subid|subid*}]
XPRE

Lists input workstation network entries.

XSPRE

Same as XPRE, but abbreviates and lists twice as many entries on the panel.

FILL

(Optional) Identifies a character to insert in the function field that precedes each entry on the formatted panel when the panel is initially formatted for display. This value facilitates performing the same function for many networks. For more information about the available values for FILL and how they are used, see the QM.6 Input Networks Prompt panel.

JOB

(Optional) Indicates the jobs for which the list of preprocess queue records is desired. Up to 17 entries are listed per panel for the XPRE panel.

*

Indicates all job names in the preprocess queue. This value is the default.

jobname

Indicates a specific job name.

Limits: 1 to 8 alphanumeric characters

jobname*

Indicates a generic job name.

Limits: 1 to 7 alphanumeric characters that are terminated with an asterisk

jobnumber

Indicates a specific CA 7 job number or a range of job numbers that are specified as nnnn-nnnn.

Limits: 1 to 4 numeric characters

NW

(Optional) Identifies the networks for which to list records.

*

Indicates all networks. This value is the default.

network

Indicates a specific network name.

Limits: 1 to 8 alphanumeric characters

network*

Indicates a generic type request.

Limits: 1 to 7 alphanumeric characters that are terminated with an asterisk

STN

(Optional) Identifies the stations for which to list records. The default is all logical terminal names that are connected to the physical terminal that issued the request. For example, logical terminals KEYPUNCH and VERIFY are assigned to physical terminal HTERM1. If XPRE was entered from HTERM1, all preprocess queue records for stations KEYPUNCH and VERIFY would be displayed.

*

Indicates all logical terminal names. This value is the default.

station

Indicates a specific station name.

Limits: 1 to 8 alphanumeric characters

station*

Indicates a generic type request.

Limits: 1 to 7 alphanumeric characters that are terminated with an asterisk

SUBID

(Optional) Identifies the sub-IDs for which to list records.

*

Indicates all sub-IDs. This value is the default.

subid

Indicates a specific sub-ID.

Limits: 1 to 8 alphanumeric characters

subid*

Indicates a generic type request.

Limits: 1 to 7 alphanumeric characters that are terminated with an asterisk
