PRINT CANCEL

Use PRINT CANCEL to cancel a PRINT request. You must cancel a PRINT request within 30 minutes after its entry. During this 30-minute period, the PRINT command is considered "active" (i.e., it can be canceled).

You can cancel an active PRINT request from any database (you do not need to be in the database in which you requested the print). However, you must cancel the PRINT command through the same section of the Dialog computer as the original request and you must log on through the same connection you used for the original request (e.g., telecommunications network, DialogClassic Web, telnet).

To determine which PRINT commands are active and can still be CANCELed, enter the command PRINT QUERY ACTIVE.

Enter PRINT CANCEL followed by the PRINT transaction number that was assigned to the request when you entered it online. A PRINT credit (for the cost of the print(s) plus any postal surcharges) will appear in your cost estimate following the cancellation. If you cancel a PRINT request after a subsequent BEGIN or LOGOFF command (i.e., after you have left the database in which the request was made), a PRINT credit will appear in the cost estimate following the current search.

Notes: Consult your log of active PRINT requests prior to CANCELing any PRINT command in order to verify the transaction number(s).

PRINT CANCEL is not available if you use the SEND option.

• To cancel an earlier, still active PRINT request during the current session:

?print cancel p058
CANCELLED transaction(s)  P058, credit $152.00

PRINT CANCEL entered without a transaction number will cancel the most recent PRINT request entered during the current search session. The command need not be entered in the same database in which the request was issued. This option cannot be used if a LOGOFF or a disconnect has occurred since the last PRINT command; in this case, a transaction number is required.

• To cancel the most recent PRINT request in the current search session:

To cancel all active PRINT requests, enter ALL in place of the transaction number:

Note: To CANCEL a PRINT request, you must use the same telecommunications route you used to place the original request, so that you are logged on to the same section of the Dialog computer as you were originally.
