SHOWOUT
DFID Device file identification, which begins with the letter O (not zero) followed
by a number. The numeric portion of the DFID is identical to the LDEV
number of the device.
JOBNUM The job/session number (jsnum) of job or session using the device file.
FNAME File name assigned to device file.
STATE The status, indicated by one of the following subparameters:
ACTIVE The spooled device file on disk is actually being written to
a printer or plotter.
OPENED The device file on disk is being accessed by a program. If
the device file is spooled, a program is currently writing to
the disk.
READY The spooled device file on disk is ready for output.
LOCKED READY, but the system has exclusive access to the file.
FRM The forms message indicator (the letter F) appears only if a forms
alignment message applies to this device file.
SPACE The approximate disk space currently being used, expressed in sectors.
This applies only to spooled output device files.
RANK The ranking of the file and its order in the system with respect to other
files of the same output priority and classname or ldev. A time stamp
activated by the FCLOSE intrinsic determines the file's rank.
The letter D following RANK indicates a deferred file. This applies only to
spooled device files. A file can be deferred if its priority is less than or
equal to system outfence or to the outfence of a specific device.
PRI The output priority requested by a user or as adjusted by the system
operator for spooled device files only. A priority of 1 is lowest, and 13 is
highest.
#C Number of copies needed, for spooled device files only.

two formats:
