# Spooler account

The spooler account holds a file called peqs that is used to reference spooler jobs as normal D3 items and can
be listed, sorted, and selected in any sequence.

The data section of this file is a Q-pointer to the peqs:
driver. The Q-pointer signals the save processor to dump both the
spooler header information and the spooler jobs to tape.

The
QS super Q-pointer was not put into dm because confusion could result
if the peqs file was restored accidentally.

Spooler jobs can be restored from previous file saves. Individual
items or the entire file can be restored to a temporary file, then
copied to the spooler as needed, or the entire contents of the previous
spooler can be overlaid on the current spooler.

Note: The file-save must be completed with the e option to save spooler jobs.
