Don't know if this will help, but here is what I did to solve a similar problem in Unidata. The first step we took was to start using the "BANNER UNIQUE (string)" setptr option. Hopefully, that option is available in Universe. So, the setptr command would contain something like "BANNER UNIQUE FRED" or "BANNER UNIQUE BARNEY". This causes the files in the _HOLD_ file to start with FRED or BARNEY. The rest of the _HOLD_ key is a sequential number, which is stored in the Dictionary of _HOLD_.
The next step is to have a separate program that checks the _HOLD_ file every five minutes and takes some action, based on the filename. e.g., if it starts with FRED, do this. If it starts with BARNEY, do something else. Some other things that I tried, which did not work on Unidata, but may work on Universe: 1) Put a trigger on the _HOLD_ file. Unidata cannot do this, since _HOLD_ is a DIR type file. 2) Delete the _HOLD_ file and recreate it as a hashed file, which would allow a trigger to be used. Unidata really did not like this at all. hth Charlie Rubeor [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote on 10/26/2006 11:49:59 AM: > Is there a way in UV to direct a printjob to another file > besides &HOLD& using the SETPTR (more precisely > the !SET.PTR command? > > I Just want to re-direct specific jobs, but keep &HOLD& > > My workaround is is READ/WRITE/DELETE the job from &HOLD& to > where I want it after the job is completed.
