Summary of output queue commands
The following commands may be used to create and control output queues. For
detailed descriptions of the commands, see the CL Reference.
CHGOUTQ
Change Output Queue: Allows you to change certain attributes of an
output queue, such as the sequence of the spooled files on the output
queue.
CLROUTQ
Clear Output Queue: Removes all spooled files from an output queue.
CRTOUTQ
Create Output Queue: Allows you to create a new output queue.
DLTOUTQ
Delete Output Queue: Deletes an output queue from the system.
HLDOUTQ
Hold Output Queue: Prevents all spooled files on a particular output
queue from being processed by a spooling writer.
RLSOUTQ
Release Output Queue: Releases a previously held output queue for
processing by a spooling writer.
WRKOUTQ
Work with Output Queue: Shows the overall status of all output queues, or
the detailed status of a specific output queue and its spooled files.
WRKOUTQD
Work with Output Queue Description: Shows descriptive information for

Default printer output queues
When a printer is configured to the system, the system automatically creates the
printer’s default output queue in library QUSRSYS. The output queue is given a
text description of 'Default output queue for printer xxxxxxxxxx', where
xxxxxxxxxx is the name of the printer.
The AUT parameter for the output queue is assigned the same value as that
specified by the AUT parameter for the printer device description. All other
parameters are assigned their default values. Use the Change Command Default
(CHGCMDDFT) command to change the default values used when creating output
queues with the CRTOUTQ command.
The default output queue for a printer is owned by the user who created the
printer device description. In the case of automatic configuration, both the printer
and the output queue are owned by the system profile QPGMR.
