-fnumber
Flush the output of job number number
-gnumber
Displays all sysouts for job number number
-gnumber:reldd
Retrieve the relative DD for job number number
-iclasses
Start an initiator to run jobs of the named classes
-jnumber:step:procstep
Restart job number number at the given step/procstep. :procstep is optional
-knumber
Kill job number number
-mnumber:class
Modify job number to use class class
-mnumber:@
Release job number
-v
View initiators and printers
-nprinter-name
Specifies that printer-name is the name of the physical device to be used by a new batch printer. This option is used with the -b and-x options.

Examples

  1. List the status of job number 1001 and all of its sysouts. Each sysout listed has an associated sequence number that can be used with the -gnumber:reldd command line parameter. The job log is always assigned sequence number 1
    casout.exe -slocalhost:9022 -g1001
  2. Download the contents of the sysout with sequence number 3 for job number 1001 into the file c:\mydir\myfile.dat
    casout.exe -slocalhost:9022 -dc:\mydir\myfile.dat -g1001:2
  3. Flush all of the output for job number 1001
    casout.exe -slocalhost:9022 -f1001
  4. Start an initiator for job classes E, J and 8
    casout.exe -slocalhost:9022 -iEJ8
  5. Restart job number 1010 at step STEP05
    casout.exe -slocalhost:9022 -j1010:STEP05
  6. Kill job number 1009
    casout.exe -slocalhost:9022 -k1009

    casout.exe -slocalhost:9022 -m1009:A
  8. Release job number 1009
    casout.exe -slocalhost:9022 -m1009:@
  9. List printers and initiators
    casout.exe -slocalhost:9022 -v
  10. Create a new printer for device "DomainLaser1" to handle classes "ABC" and use a printer exit program called "LASEREX"
    casout.exe -slocalhost:9022 -nDomainLaser1 -bABC -xLASEREX
