ILE RPG Programmer's Guide


Spooling

Spooling is a system function that puts data into a storage area to wait for processing. The i5/OS® system provides for the use of input and output spooling functions. Each i5/OS file description contains a spool attribute that determines whether spooling is used for the file at run time. The RPG program is not aware that spooling is being used. The actual physical device from which a file is read or to which a file is written is determined by the spool reader or the spool writer. For more detailed information on spooling, refer to the DB2 Universal Database™ for iSeries® section of the Database and File Systems category in the i5/OS Information Center at this Web site - http://www.ibm.com/systems/i/infocenter/.
