InterForm Manual - System & Method

The various definition lines does the following:
Specify input spooled file priority:
This definition line is only used for defining what spool file attributes to sort on, if
no sorting fields are selected. Normally it is not necessary to fill this out.
Specify placement of input spool file attributes at output:
If you decide to sort on the spool file attributes in combination with text of each
spool page (e.g. customer number), you can do this using this function. This
places the attributes on each page.
Define sort fields:
Here you state where to find the sorting keys (e.g. customer number) on each
page. You also refer to positions, where the attributes have been inserted. If all
spool files have the sorting fields in the same positions, you only need one
sequence line. If the placement of the sorting fields varies, it is necessary to
have more sequence lines and to use the page selection criteria. For a
description of the page selection criteria see page 226, 260.
Specify grouping and separator page:
Here you decide how many sorting fields, that should change in order for
creating a new group. You can also specify to insert a separator page, when
changing groups.
A group is dealt with as an undividable number of pages. If you choose
to distribute the workload on several output queues a group will not be
broken up.
Define resulting output queues:
Specifies on which output queue(s) to place the resulting SCS spool file
including all the pages. You can decide, that OSC should balance the workload
between several output queues. Using the workload factor. Note that groups
defined above are kept together.
Specify automatic start scheduling:
Specifies weekdays and times, when the OSC job is to autostart and process all
waiting spool files.
Specify automatic start options:
Specify whether or not to send a message when starting or/and when finished.
It is also possible to decide to start or not to start the OSC job, if it could not be
started at the scheduled time (e.g. because of an IPL).
