FILE
If you are opening a file that is to reside on a movable volume set, you
must specify a device class that includes the drives upon which the home
volume set is mounted. The file is then allocated to any of the volume set's
volumes that fall within that device class.
outpri The output priority requested for an output spool file. This may have a
value of 1 (the lowest priority) to 13 (the highest).
numcopies The number of copies requested for an output spool file. The maximum
number is 127.
VTERM Instructs MPE/iX to use reverse virtual terminal service instead of remote
file access. Use VTERM only if the designated device is a remote terminal.
Using VTERM allows a local application program to perform I/O to remote
terminals located on systems that support reverse virtual terminal. Refer
to Communicator 3000, Volume 2, Issue 6 (version G.02.00 of MPE V/E U-MIT).
envfile The name of a file containing printer environment information, which
controls the print output formats on the printer. Not all printers support
this feature/capability to accept environment information.
This name may be an actual file designator, or it may be a formal file
designator preceded by an asterisk (*).
The information in this file may contain specifications for page size,
character fonts, forms, and other printer requirements to be used with the
HP laser printing system. The file must be in a form suitable for
downloading to the printer.
For example, to specify the environment file ACCTENV.HPENV.SYS to be
used when printing, enter:
FILE ACCTLIST;DEV=ACCTPP;ENV=ACCTENV.HPENV.SYS
For information on creating an environment file for your specific printer,
refer to the documentation that came with your printer.
The ENV= parameter in a FILE command overrides the environment
specified in the FOPEN or HPFOPEN intrinsic.
If the ENV= parameter is used and the *formaldesignator or filereference is
omitted the parameter is ignored. Only a fully specified environment
option overrides the environment option supplied by programmatic open.
Any environment file specification for a subsequent FOPEN or HPFOPEN of
the device file is ignored.
option Any valid option for the FILE command.
