Examples

   1.$ PRINT/QUEUE=LPB0/COPIES=10/AFTER=20   RESUME
       Job RESUME (queue LPB0, entry 239) holding until 14-DEC-2001 20:00

     The PRINT command in this example queues 10 copies of the file
     RESUME.LIS to printer LPB0, but requests that the copies not be
     printed until after 8:00 P.M.

   2.$ PRINT  THETA.TXT + BETA/FLAG + GAMMA/FLAG + *.LIS/FLAG
       Job THETA (queue SYS$PRINT, entry 237) pending

     The PRINT command in this example submits the files THETA.TXT,
     BETA.TXT, GAMMA.TXT, and the highest versions of all files with
     the file type .LIS as a single print job. Flag pages separate
     the individual files. Notice that the file type for BETA and
     GAMMA is .TXT, the file type of the first file in the list.

   3.$ PRINT/LOWERCASE   THETA.TXT/COPIES=2, -
     _$BETA.DOC/COPIES=3
     Job THETA (queue SYS$PRINT, entry 240) pending

     The print job queued by the PRINT command in this example
     consists of two copies of THETA.TXT followed by three copies
     of BETA.DOC. This job must be printed on a printer that can
     print lowercase letters. If no such printer is available, the
     job waits in the queue.

   4.$ PRINT/JOB_COUNT=3   THETA.TXT,BETA/NOIDENTIFY

     The PRINT command in this example concatenates the files
     THETA.TXT and BETA.TXT into a single print job and prints three
     copies of the job. The /NOIDENTIFY qualifier requests that the
     job entry number and queue name not be displayed.

   5.$ COPY REPORT.MEM NODE3::
     $ PRINT/REMOTE NODE3::REPORT.MEM

     In this example, the two commands are entered at a node other
     than NODE3. The COPY command copies the file REPORT.MEM from
     the current node to the NODE3 node. The PRINT command queues
     the file REPORT.MEM located on the NODE3 node for printing at
     the NODE3 node. The job entry number and queue name are not
     displayed when the /REMOTE qualifier is used.

   6.$ PRINT/HOLD   MASTER.DOC
       Job MASTER (queue SYS$PRINT, entry 540) holding
        .
        .
        .
     $ SET ENTRY 540/RELEASE

     The PRINT command in this example queues a copy of the file
     MASTER.DOC to the default printer in a hold status. Later,
     the SET ENTRY command releases the hold status on the file and
     makes it available for printing.

   7.$ PRINT TEST.TXT
     Job TEST.TXT (queue SYS$PRINT, entry 867) started on LPA0
     $ SHOW ENTRY '$ENTRY'
     Entry     Jobname     Username     Blocks    Status
     -----     -------     --------     ------    ------
       867     TEST.TXT    Nisslert        135    Printing
               Submitted  10-DEC-2001 11:07 /FORM=DEFAULT /PRIORITY=100
               File: $5$DUA174:[NISSLERT]TEST.TXT;3

     The PRINT command in this system example queues a copy of the
     file TEST.TXT to the default printer. It also creates the local
     symbol $ENTRY to store the job entry number. The SHOW ENTRY
     command requests a display of the entry using the symbol $ENTRY
     to identify it.

   8.$ PRINT/RETAIN=UNTIL=1 MYFILE.DAT
        .
        .
        .
     $ SHOW QUEUE DOC$LN03
     Server queue DOC$LN03, stopped, on NEWTON::, mounted form DEFAULT
     Entry    Jobname    Username  Blocks  Status
     -----    -------    --------  ------  ------
       436    MYFILE     MIGDAL         8  Retained until 11-DEC-2001 16:56
           %JBC-F-JOBABORT, job aborted during execution
             Completed  11-DEC-2001 15:56 on queue DOC$LN03

     The SHOW QUEUE display in this system example includes the date
     and time at which a retained job completed and the queue on
     which it executed. The user set job retention to be one hour
     after job completion. Depending on the queue's job retention
     policy, the job might be deleted from the queue at 16:56.

   9. PRINT /PARAMETERS=AAA=123

     This command passes the parameter AAA=123 to the print
     symbiont. The interpretation of the parameter is dependent
     on the symbiont.

   10$ PRINT /PARAMETERS=(ddd,"e,(F=(3,4),g),h)",iii)

     This command passes three parameters to the print symbiont:
     DDD, "e,(F=(3,4),g),h)", and III. The use of the quotes around
     the second parameter allows the use of nested parentheses,
     commas, and the preservation of alphabetic case. This parameter
     value is perfectly acceptable to the PRINT command, even though
     it is apt to subsequently be rejected by the print symbiont.

   11.PRINT /PARAMETERS=("N,O,P,Q,R,S,T",U,V)

     This command passes three parameters to the print symbiont:
     "N,O,P,Q,R,S,T", U, and V. Depending on the parsing
     capabilities of the symbiont and the length of the parameters
     (each parameter is limited to 255 characters), this may be a
     workaround to the limitation of eight parameters.
