Where are the mvbase spooler entries stored? I think I have control
characters in a print job and want to check the file. I also tried the 'F'
option in sp-edit to no avail.

tia,

sorry, I should have prefaced this with:

"Does anyone know where ... " sorry if this sounded presumptuous I know
there are a multitude of pick flavors discussed here.

An mvBASE spooler hold file is a set of linked frames. You can find
the first one using the command "LISTPEQS (E", e.g:

PRINTER LIST ELEMENTS 04 NOV 2005 09:15:30

STAT LK LN CURPOS BEGFID CP FO FRMS DATE TIME ACCT

8880 3 1004B3282 4B3282 1 10 1 11/02/05 13:21:58 FIRM
8880 6 1003FD9C6 3FD9C6 1 93 6 10/27/05 09:38:11 FIRM
8880 6 1003FA768 3FA768 1 93 10 10/27/05 09:38:42 FIRM
8880 6 10045BA92 45BA92 1 93 90 10/27/05 09:39:19 FIRM

BEGFID is the first one, and you can use the "DUMP" command to view the
set. For example "DUMP .4B3282 GX" will display the contents of the
first entry above. Use a dot (".") before the hex frame number with
"G" (follow forward links) and "X" (display in hex) options.

thanks you; this is exactly what we needed.
