Spooling

Start of changeSpooling is a system function that puts data into a storage area to wait for processing. The IBM® i provides for the use of input and output spooling functions. Each 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® for i section of the Database and File Systems category in the IBM i Information Center at this Web site - http://www.ibm.com/systems/i/infocenter/.End of change
