Ken,
The spool file is generated through the standard list when the job is
started. Currently, in 1 week, we generate a spool file that runs about
3.6 million lines. Just how big is "nastily big"?
Regards,
Robert Holtz

Dumb question
Is this actually a print file or are we talking about the standard list
from
the job?
I have seen server jobs which log activity to stdlist running for months
on
end until the spool file got nastily big.

Hello Donna, Gilles and Robert :)
A long time ago in a galaxy far far away... Called SRN's IRIS product
...
we had a similar problem that was addressed by setting the application
parameters to build spoolfiles with max page counts so that we would
break
a 25,000 page print out into say... 100 spoofl's of 250 pages... helped
with printing 'em when the printer jammed ..
I can't remember the syntax for the spoolf that handles this... but
maybe someone else can supply it? Maybe the 911 software has a similar
"setting" somewhere in it? I remember I had to call SRN Tech Support (I
was on a first name basis with 'em all :) ) to figure out how to set
this
within the software as the setting was buried in a KSAM file.

P.S. Wayne Holt should be able to answer this if he is still around?

i agree with gilles....however i don't know if you have the ability to
make
such a change.
this seems like a question best asked of your 911 software vendor, but
i'm
guessing you're asking here because they're unable to help.
perhaps if you could tell us a bit more about 'the application' that
would
help us understand your question better. is 'the application' a
job/server? - d

I think the only way you could do that would be to actually modify
the application program to periodically (say, for example, every 10
pages or every 100 pages) close then re-open the print file.
