Default system output queues<br />
154 <strong>File</strong> <strong>Management</strong> V4R5<br />
The system is shipped with the defaults on commands to use the default output<br />
queue for the system printer as the default output queue for all spooled output.<br />
The system printer is defined by the QPRTDEV system value.<br />
When a spooled file is created by opening a device file and the output queue<br />
specified for the file cannot be found, the system will attempt to place the spooled<br />
file on output queue QPRINT in library QGPL. If for any reason the spooled file<br />
cannot be placed on output queue QPRINT, an error message will be sent and the<br />
output will not be spooled.<br />
The following output queues are supplied with the system:<br />
QDKT<br />
Default diskette output queue<br />
QPRINT<br />
Default printer output queue<br />
QPRINTS<br />
Printer output queue for special forms<br />
QPRINT2<br />
Printer output queue for 2-part paper<br />
Creating your own output queues<br />
You can create output queues for each user of the system. For example:<br />
CRTOUTQ OUTQ(QGPL/JONES) +<br />
TEXT('Output queue for Mike Jones')<br />
Order of spooled files on an output queue<br />
The order of spooled files on an output queue is mainly determined by the status<br />
of the spooled file. A spooled file that is being processed by a writer may have one<br />
of the following statuses:<br />
Status Description<br />
PRT Printing<br />
WTR Writer<br />
PND Pending to be printed<br />
SND Sending to another system<br />
Spooled files with these statuses are placed at the top of the output queue. A<br />
spooled file being processed by the writer may have a held (HLD) status if a user<br />
has held the spooled file, but the writer is not yet finished processing the file. All<br />
other files with a status of RDY are listed on the output queue after the file being<br />
processed by a writer, followed by files with statuses other than RDY.<br />
Within each type of spooled file (RDY and non-RDY files) the following<br />
information causes a further ordering of the files. The items are listed in sequence<br />
based on the amount of importance they have on the ordering of spooled files,<br />
with the first item having the most importance.<br />
1. The output priority of the spooled file.
