                 EDIT DESCRIPTIONS FOR IBMCOM-10-HASP-V1                        
  
  
                             EDIT 370    FOR IBMSPL
  
[SYMPTOM]
Printer page limits for files sent to the local lineprinter by IBMSPL
are different than they would be if sent by the EXEC or QUEUE.
  
  
  
  
[DIAGNOSIS]
IBMSPL uses its own algorithm to calculate the size of a file
when it fills in a create request for QUASAR, and this algorithm
does not conform to anything that QUASAR or the EXEC or QUEUE
uses.
  
  
  
[CURE]
Make IBMSPL calculate its create request printer page limits

                             EDIT 371    FOR IBMSPL
  
[s]
The D60: area gets cluttered with LPT-QBM-P##L## files.
Disposition files created by IBMSPL are
continually opened with the next higher generation number.
Since <DN60> can be a high-traffic area at times, retention
of unnecessary files could usurp space needed for incoming
data transfers.
  
  
[d]
IBMSPL passes the byte size in the control word of the FOB,
when opening a file for output or deletion.  Up until recently
this was the only information that need be passed to GLXFIL.
PCO-GLXLIB-030 allowed the inclusion of a FB.SUP bit when
calling F%OOPN or F%DEL.  This is a new bit in the control
word of the FOB that, when lit, instructs GLXLIB not to use
GTJFN's GJ%FOU option when opening the file.  By suppressing
GJ%FOU, a higher generation number of a file will NOT be
assigned, and the file will be superseded.
IBMSPL just hasn't taken advantage of the new file opening
option provided with a recent edit to GLXLIB.
  
  
[d]
Use GLXMAC's new FB.SUP bit when opening files that are
better superseded than retained, i.e. the <DN60> queue
information files.
