:Stream Command [STREAM]
Streams a Qedit file or Keep file containing a batch job. :Stream enters a file of MPE commands into the batch processing queue.
:STREAM [ filename ] [ ,promptchar ] [ ;AT=time...]
(Defaults: filename = $stdin,
promptchar = !.)
Examples
/stream job23 {job23 is a qedit or keep file} /l all {check job stream} 1 !job mgr.robelle/password 2 !file infile=qedit.doc 3 !run prose.qlib.robelle 4 !eoj /stream * {stream the current workfile} #J123 /stream backup;at=02:00 {backup at 2 in the morning} /list comp.streams{check contents of job stream} /stream $ {...then stream it}
:Stream Resets Dirty Flag
When you text a file, Qedit copies the contents of the file into a workfile, and marks the workfile as “clean.” Once you make changes to the workfile, it is considered “dirty.” To see if your workfile is clean or dirty, do Verify Open.
The dirty flag is reset to clean if you Keep the file, or stream the current workfile with stream *. This is so that you can stream jobs from templates, inserting passwords, etc., without having to answer YES to clear the workfile on the next Text command. If you don’t want Qedit to reset the dirty flag when streaming the current workfile (so that Qedit won’t let you Text over your workfile or exit without reminding you to save your changes), you should shut the workfile and then stream it. This is handy when you want to make changes to a job, test it, and keep the file once you are satisfied with the changes:
/t fulldump.job /c "xyz"abc" @ {make some changes to the job} /sh;stream *
