You can set a timeout value more efficiently by calling N_CAPSET(). Though superseded, N_SPLTMO() has been retained in the library to maintain compatibility with earlier versions of NetLib. Future versions may not retain N_SPLTMO(), so please take this opportunity to begin using the new function in your code. Syntax N_SPLTMO( [ <nSeconds> ] ) Parameters <nSeconds> Timeout value in seconds. Zero indicates timeout supressed. Returns N_SPLTMO() with no arguments returns the current timeout value in seconds. Description N_SPLTMO(<nSeconds>) sets a printer timeout value. If the program does not generate print output for the specified number of seconds (assuming a document is in progress), the network will act as if an N_SPOOL(.F.) had been issued, signaling the end of the document. All documents subsequently spooled from the current station are affected. The setting remains in effect until changed by another N_SPLTMO(). N_SPLTMO(0) turns off the print timeout, in which case you will need to issue N_SPOOL(.F.) to terminate a document. Note This function has no control over when the document is physically printed, only when it is queued for printing.
