1 PRINT Sends a copy of the message you are currently reading to the default print queue. The files created by the PRINT command are not actually released to the print queue until you exit from Mail, so that multiple messages are concatenated into one print job (unless you specify the /NOW or /PRINT qualifier). Enter HELP PRINT at the DCL prompt for more information and examples. Format PRINT 2 Qualifiers /AFTER /AFTER=time Requests that the job not be printed until a specific time of day. You can specify either absolute or delta time. /ALL Indicates that all the currently selected messages be printed. /BURST /BURST=keyword /NOBURST Controls whether Mail inserts a burst page before printing a message. The /BURST qualifier can take either of two keywords: ALL or ONE. The ALL keyword indicates that each file in the job is to be preceded by a burst page and flag page. The ONE keyword indicates that a burst page applies only to the first copy of the first file in the job. /CANCEL Cancels all messages that have been queued for printing during the current session. /COPIES /COPIES=n Indicates the number of copies of the print job to be printed. /FEED /FEED /NOFEED Controls whether the PRINT command automatically inserts form feeds when it nears the end of a page. The /FEED qualifier is the default. /FLAG /FLAG=keyword /NOFLAG Controls whether a flag page is printed preceding a message. The /FLAG qualifier can take either of two keywords: ALL or ONE. The ALL keyword indicates that each file in the job is preceded by a flag page. The ONE keyword indicates that a flag page applies only to the first copy of the first file in the job. /FORM /FORM=form-name Specifies the name or number of the form that you want for the print job. Enter the DCL command SHOW QUEUE/FORM to list the available forms. /HOLD /HOLD /NOHOLD Controls whether the message is available for print immediately. The print job is not released for actual printing until you use the DCL command SET QUEUE/ENTRY/RELEASE to release it. /NAME /NAME=job-name Defines the name string to identify the job. /NOTIFY Indicates that you are to be notified by a broadcast message when the file or files have been printed. The /NONOTIFY qualifier is the default. /NOW Sends all messages that have been queued for printing with the PRINT command during this session to the printer. Allows the job to print without exiting mail. This qualifier is synonymous with the /PRINT qualifier. /PARAMETERS /PARAMETERS=(parameter[, ...]) Specifies from one to eight optional parameters to be passed to the job. /PRINT The /PRINT qualifier is synonymous with the /NOW qualifier. Releases all messages previously queued with the PRINT command to the print queue. If you do not specify the /PRINT qualifier, messages are not released to the print queue until you exit from Mail. PRINT/PRINT does not queue the current message for printing. Also note that the only other qualifier you can specify with /PRINT is /NOTIFY. /QUEUE /QUEUE=queue-name The name of the queue to which the message is to be sent. If the /QUEUE qualifier is not specified, the message is sent to the default queue specified with the SET QUEUE command or to the SYS$PRINT queue. If you enter the PRINT command more than once and specify a different queue name, any previously queued messages are released to the previously specified print queue. /SPACE /SPACE /NOSPACE Controls whether output is double-spaced. /TRAILER /TRAILER=keyword /NOTRAILER Controls whether a trailer page is printed at the end of the message. The /TRAILER qualifier can take either of two keywords: ALL or ONE. The ALL keyword indicates that each file in the job is followed by a trailer page. The ONE keyword indicates that a trailer page follows only the last copy of the last file in the job. 2 Examples 1.MAIL> 5 MAIL> PRINT/QUEUE=LMNO_PRINT MAIL> EXIT Job MAIL (queue LMNO_PRINT, entry 333) started on LMNO_PRINT $ This example shows how to add message number 5 to queue LMNO_PRINT. 2.MAIL> PRINT/PRINT %MAIL-E-NOMSGPRI, no messages printed . . . MAIL> 14 MAIL> PRINT MAIL> 23 MAIL> PRINT MAIL> PRINT/PRINT Job MAIL (queue QUASAR_PRINT, entry 333) started on QUEUE$LPA0 The first part of this example shows how Mail displays an error message when you enter the /PRINT qualifier before you use the PRINT command alone. The second part shows how to release mail messages (14 and 23) to the print queue by entering the /PRINT qualifier. 3.MAIL> 2 MAIL> PRINT MAIL> 7 MAIL> PRINT MAIL> 9 MAIL> PRINT/QUEUE=WRITERS_PRINT Job MAIL (queue SYS$PRINT, entry 148) started on QUEUE$LPA0 MAIL> 24 MAIL> PRINT MAIL> 31 MAIL> PRINT/QUEUE=READERS_PRINT Job MAIL (queue WRITERS_PRINT, entry 149) started on QUEUE$LPA0 MAIL> EXIT Job MAIL (queue READERS_PRINT, entry 152) started on QUEUE$LPB0 This example shows how mail messages are released to the print queue when you use the /QUEUE qualifier. The system message specifying the name of the queue your job is started on is printed only if you have changed the name of the queue from the previous job.
