The Define Action for Output Spooled File display, consisting of two displays for
each action group, provide for configuring the processing options. These options
include the APU print definition, the user exit programs, the run option, and the
output file options. Using multiple action groups, you can apply multiple APU
print definitions to the same input spooled file, invoke user programs for unique
processing, and define multiple, different output actions.
If you select Define action for input spooled file, the following panel displays:
APU will move the input spooled file to the output queue defined in the Success
or Failure fields, depending on the result, and will place the file in one of the four
status conditions shown above. *HOLD is the default for both failure and success.
Defining Action for Output Spooled File
The third thing a user can do in configuring APU monitor action is to define action
for output spooled file. This is probably the most complicated portion. The user
can enter information on two panels (which make up an action group) by
describing tasks the print engine performs. The user can scroll through (or set up)
a total of 16 separate actions groups to be performed. This makes it possible to
process several print definitions against one SCS spooled file.
Before describing in detail the various parameters that could be set for this step, an
extended example may help to clarify the concepts.
An Example of this Processing Step
Imagine that you print at two different locations. You want to identify which
invoice is for the local system and which one is for the second location. This is
possible with the conditional option in the print definition. You must define two
different print definitions. Each uses conditional processing to select which invoice
will be in the new spooled file. (Each print definition produces one spooled file.)
