PRT

RDR
indicates the spool file queue you want to order.
CLass c
are the file classes that you want to rearrange, and the sequence in which they
are to be processed. You must enter the keyword Class for each class that you
want to order. The operand c is a 1-character alphanumeric fields (from A to Z
or from 0 to 9) that represent spooling classes.
FORM form
are the forms to be rearranged, and the sequences in which they are to be
processed. The operand form is specified as one to eight characters in length.
For the class G user, the form is the user form name. For the class D user, the
form is the user form name when you specify asterisk (*) or default to your user
ID. Otherwise, the form is the operator form number.
DEST dest
are the file destination values to be rearranged, and the sequence in which they
are to be processed. The operand dest is specified as 1- to 8-character names.
spoolid
identifies the files you want to order. This option is not valid with the SYSTEM
keyword.
1. SET IMSG OFF suppresses informational messages for this command.
2. The order of closed spool files determines the sequence in which they are
selected and processed.
3. Class G users can order only their own files and any files that they originated.
The order that you specify does not affect the position of any other files that are
in the same system queue as your files, but only repositions your files with
respect to any other files you may own.
For example, suppose the system printer queue contains the following files:
Spoolid
Owning User
1 USER1
22 USER2
333 USER2
4444 USER2
Assume further that USER2 enters order prt 4444; the following queue order
results:
Spoolid
Owning User
1 USER1
4444 USER2
22 USER2
333 USER2
ORDER
The class G user may order files that he or she originated and that another user
ID now owns. If so, the user only changes the order of the files in relation to
any other files that he or she originated and are now owned by the other user
ID. For example, assume there are two users, USER1 and USER2, and
USER2’s printer queue is as follows:
