spooler.options

can be specified to most spooler commands. Some have numeric arguments.

To keep these options clear for the options interpreter, it is recommended that numeric options be separated with blanks as in the following example:

sp-assign 3 hs f1 ?

This sets parameters for hold file output, suppresses print out at the end-of-job, routes output to form queue 1, and 3 copies.

The spaces in this option string are optional, in this case, since there are no instances of 'back to back' numeric parameters. Options may appear in any order. Consider the case:

sp-assign f1 3 hs ?

Without the space between the '1' and the '3', one copy of the output is directed to form queue 13, rather than 1.
