Volume and device management

Which devices are available for user jobs?

User jobs can use all peripheral devices and system resources. System resources are:

• Consoles

• disk devices for pubsets

• devices which the operator has assigned to the system (e.g. printers).

As a rule, user jobs need to reserve only tape and disk devices. Other devices, such as printers, are served by the system and can be used via the SPOOL interfaces (using the PRINT-DOCUMENT command, PRNTDOC and WRLST macro).
