The first thing EZSPL.SBR (SPOOL.SBR) does upon being called is it looks for configuration files. The A-Shell version of the configuration file search path is much more abbreviated than the AMOS version, consisting only of the following:
EZ:<printfilename>.SFL
EZ:<programname>.SPG
EZ:<printername>.SPR
EZ:<termname>.SPL
MEM:SYSTEM.SPL
SYSTEM.SPL[p,pn]
SYSTEM.SPL[p,0]
EZ:SYSTEM.SPL
If none of these are found, then printing proceeds as if EZ-SPOOL did not exist. Otherwise, it opens the first file it finds and process the parameters contained within.
Each of the statements in the config file must be in all upper case, with no spaces, except within a description field (e.g. “MENU = ON” and “menu = On” are invalid). Standard rules apply for Boolean Arguments in INI Files..
Individual sections may also be added to the configuration file according to user name.
User name is determined by the native operating system logon procedure, and can be seen in the SYSTAT display or retrieved with GETUSN.SBR. It is not case sensitive in this context.
