# JBC_OLD_SP_EDIT
Read Time: 1 minute(s)
Tags: spooler environment variables
# Description
When this environment variable is set, the alternative SP-EDIT program is invoked.
# Values
1
# Default
None.
# Note
The alternative SP-EDIT program prompts the user with a list of options to manipulate the print job. For example:
jsh ~ -->SP-EDIT 4
Entry # 4 Display(Y/N/T/TN/S/D/X/(CR)?The options are:
| Y | display the first 10 lines of the print job |
| N | skip to the "String" prompt |
| T | output the job to stdout with paging |
| TN | output the job to stdout without paging |
| S | skip to the "Spool" prompt |
| D | skip to the "Delete" prompt |
| X or <Enter> | exit SP-EDIT |
If Y, N, T or TN is selected, the user is next prompted for String. Entering a string will cause a scan of each line of the print job, from the first line to the last line or until the string is found. The user is then prompted for "Spool (Y/N=CR)". If Y is entered the print job is spooled from the line in which the specified string was located. If the string was not located, the entire job is spooled.
# Setting
As per normal environment variable. It should be set before jBASE is invoked.
# UNIX
