# Options (Spooler)

Spooler options can be specified to most spooler commands. Some have numeric arguments.

To keep these options clear for the options interpreter, it is recommended that numeric
 options be separated with spaces as shown in the following
 example:
```
 sp-assign 3 hs f1 ?
```
This form of the sp-assign
 sets parameters for hold file output, suppresses print out at the end of the job, routes output
 to form queue 1, and 3 copies.

The spaces in this option string are optional, in this
 case, since there are no instances of *back-to-back* numeric parameters. Options can be
 placed in any order. Consider the case:

```
 sp-assign f1 3 hs ?
```
Without the
 space between the 1 and 3, one copy of the output is directed to form queue 13, rather than
 1.

Note: Spooler options do not have to be enclosed in parentheses like options with other
 TCL commands. If numeric options are within parentheses, parameters outside of the parentheses
 are ignored.
