Description

The SPOOL_RECEIVE_BUFFER option specifies the size of the blocks (number of pages) used when transferring spool lists.

Page sizes can vary depending on the "lines per page" specified for the job step. Therefore, the number of pages that can be transferred in a single SPOOL_RECEIVE_BUFFER can vary.

For a spool list to be considered transferrable, at least one spool list page must be able to fit in the SPOOL_RECEIVE_BUFFER.
