SPLTOOL allows users to create user defined options very similar to the way you can create user defined options with PDM.
User defined options are create using the F16=User Options function key. When you use this function key, you will be shown a list of currently defined user options as shown below:
2/26/00 Spooled File Tools (SPLTOOL)
16:41:38 User Options
Type options, press Enter.
2=Change 3=Copy 4=Delete 5=Display
Opt Option Command
_ C CPYSPLF FILE(&F) TOFILE(SPOOLF) JOB(&N/&U/&J) SPLNBR(&S) CTLCHAR(*F
Bottom
F3=Exit F5=Refresh F6=Create
The options listed allow you to change, copy, delete, or display the current user option. The F6=Create function key will allow you to create a new user option.
When creating user options, you can substitute special characters for parameters. A list and description of each follows:
** NOTE: When using these parameters as input parameters when calling a program defined as a user option, (as opposed to calling a command such as DSPSPLF), enclose the parameters in quotation marks. Define the fields in the program as character and 10 characters long. Job number can be 6 characters and spooled file number can be 4 characters, but it shouldn't make much difference.
