Here is a review of some basics, to help individuals new to managing some areas of 400 stuff.

Spool

A spooled file (sometimes called a spooled output file) is a file that holds output waiting to be printed. At any given time, multiple spooled files can be waiting to print.

    • You see only your own spooled files unless you have job control (*JOBCTL) or spool control (*SPLCTL) special security authority.
    • On the S/36 there was only one spool file with all output for all users.
