Keeping VMS LOG files out of the printer queue
>From G.ROGER@MIT-EECS Tue Jan 19 20:14:21 1982
A while back there was a query on this list from someone looking for a way to
prevent VMS from sending batch job log files to the printer.  On VMS V2, the
only reasonable way is to assign sys$print to the null device.

The 780 I use is a Field Test site for VMS V3.  I noticed today that this
problem has been corrected in V3 by adding two qualifiers to the SUBMIT
command:

/KEEP - don't delete the log file after printing.

/[NO]PRINTER - Send (don't send) the log file to the printer.  /NOPRINTER
              implies /KEEP.
