In this window, enter the following information:
The number of groups to be created.
The number of records for each group.
An initial password, SYSPOOL.
A new password. This new password is required the first time the spool file is formatted; either to change the initial password, or to confirm it. Thereafter, it is only necessary if the password is to be changed.
Anmerkung:
When formatting the spool file, all existing reports will be
deleted. All existing allocations, profile and printer definitions will be
kept.
After the spool file has been (re-)formatted, restarting the Natural session is not required .
The following sections provide a general idea as to what values should be taken into account when formatting the spool file. They are not rules which must be followed.
The number of groups and records per group in the spool file affects
the number of reports that can be held on the spool file at a time. When
allocating space for a report, NATSPOOL acquires a group of
records from the spool file even if the output would fit into a single record.
Each record of the spool file which is to contain lines of output is 2 KB
long.
Therefore, if the average output is small (not greater than 2 KB), it is recommended that only one record per group be defined and as many groups as reports are expected on the spool file at one time.
To calculate the output size, it should be taken into account that
each line is compressed by NATSPOOL in such a way that trailing
blanks are skipped before the lines are stored on the spool file. Lines which
may be considered as blank (that is, which do not contain text) contain a
printer control character. The trailing blanks will be skipped, but the printer
control character will be stored.
If a report has been printed and deleted (DISP=D in the
logical printer), its space is re-used by NATSPOOL. This means
that it would be sufficient to define only one group with only one record if
small reports (not greater than 2 KB) are created one after the other. However,
if such a report is created before the previous one is printed (deleted), a
NATSPOOL FILE FULL condition occurs.
In general, the number of groups required depends on the size of each report, the number of records per group, and the number of reports to be held on the spool file at a time.
The number of records per group is:
| records per group = average number of characters per report in KB / 2 KB |
The number of groups required by a single report is:
| number of groups = size of report in KB / number of records per group |
The total number of groups required to ensure space for reports which are to be held at one time is approximately:
| total number of groups = number of reports × average size of reports in KB / number of records per group |
When NATSPOOL allocates space for a report, it acquires
not one record, but a group of records. After the first group is filled,
NATSPOOL acquires another group, and so on. The number of groups
and records per group in the spool file affects the amount of storage allocated
on the spool file.
| storage = (number of groups) × (number of records per group) × 2 KB |
There are two groups, each containing three records.
Since each record which is to contain lines of output is 2 KB long, the amount of storage required for output is calculated as follows:
| storage = (2 groups) × (3 records per group) × 2 KB |
The required amount of storage in this example is 12 KB.
If the spool file is to be formatted in batch mode, the program
SPPBATFO can be used. This program requires the following
input:
the number of groups (N6),
the number of records per group (N6),
the password (A8).

Anmerkung:

With the Reset function, the spool file is reset to its original status. All definitions concerning profiles, printers, etc. are deleted, and the spool file is newly formatted.
When you invoke this function, the Reset Spool File window appears.
This window is similar to the Format Spool File window, and the same information has to be entered (see Format - Function 30.1).
Anmerkung:
Before this function is executed, you are prompted for confirmation
(Y/N).
During operation, the spool file may be increased by a certain number
of new groups. Existing reports are not deleted by this function. The
record-to-group assignment remains the same. The execution of this function
might be useful after error message NAT1556 (spool file is
full).
When you invoke this function, the Increase Spool File window appears.

In this window, you can define the following settings globally for the spool file (not per user):
The type of hardcopy allocation: T=via terminal ID,
U=via user ID.
The mask for hardcopy allocation. This allows you to specify a
hardcopy allocation for a group of terminals/users. To do so, you can mask any
position of the name (terminal or user, depending on the type of hardcopy
allocation) with any character other than a question mark (?). When the
hardcopy allocation is performed, the positions in the name you have masked are
not evaluated. For example, all users on the same floor are to use the same
printer and the terminal ID is used. The system administrator defines terminal
IDs in which the positions 5 and 6 indicate the floor. In this case, the type
of hardcopy allocation is T and the mask is ####_ _##
(the positions 1-4 and 7-8 will be ignored). The allocation is done via a
logical printer with the name - - - -01- - for the first floor.
The corresponding definitions can now be allocated to this printer.
Whether user statistics are to be activated
(Y/N). When activated, the number of reports, pages
and lines is output for each user.
Whether usage of clusters is to be activated
(Y/N). See also Clusters - Function
31.7.
Whether logging for objects is to be activated
(Y/N). When activated, the last 12 modifications are
logged for each object. Using Function
41, you can check the log.
Whether logging for reports is to be activated
(Y/N). When activated, all report actions are logged.
For reasons of performance, this function should only be activated if
required.
The sequence in which to list the reports (see also Reports/Queues - Function 10):
J
|
Job numbers |
D |
Destination/Form, status, priority, creation date |
U |
Sending user ID, Destination/Form, status, priority, creation date |
O |
Best sequence to be decided by the selection criteria defined in the program. |
To modify the default for the current session, use the line command
SQ or Function 10.
The time format in which to the display date and time fields or to be used for input. All date and/or time specifications (for example, time windows, creation date) are stored in the spool file in CPU (store clock value) format. The value specified controls the display of or the input in a date or time field:
C
|
Displays all date/time values in CPU format.
Input values (for example, in time windows) are also considered store clock values. |
N |
Converts all store clock values into the Natural time format
considering the settings of the Natural parameter
Example of Input Creation date of report |
Whether the current spool file is to be used by different operating
systems / TP monitors (Y/N).
When different operating systems / TP monitors are to be used, you
have to specify which ones are to be used: BS2000/OSD, CICS and/or IMS TM
(Y/N).
You have to enter a password to execute this function.
In certain environments (such as a test environment or Entire Output Management), it is not required to define different logical printers. In this case, you can define a logical printer as default printer. This default printer will always be used when no value or an invalid value is specified.
When you have many objects with the same values, it may be helpful to predefine these recurring values by using models.
When you select this option, the Defaults and Models window appears.

There are three types of authorization:
- Operator
A user can be defined as spool file operator. However, the defined user is only allowed to use Function 10 (Reports/Queues) and Function 11 (Devices).
- Owner
A user can be defined as an owner of an object. An owner is allowed to modify or delete an object.
- Private
Usage of some objects (printers and application) can be restricted to specific users.
You can specify the following in the access authorization window:
| Code | Description |
|---|---|
Y |
Can only be specified for the spool file to define the user as operator. In all other cases, Y indicates that access authorization was granted by using S. |
N |
The user has no access authorization. |
* |
Access authorization is granted for all objects of this type. This code cannot be specified for the spool file. |
S |
Access authorization is granted for selected objects of this type. In the resulting window, you specify Y next to each desired object. This code cannot be specified for the spool file. |
When you invoke this function, the Last Modification window appears.
