ORDER
Spoolid Owning User Originator
123 USER2 USER2
456 USER2 USER1
789 USER2 USER1
9101 USER2 USER2
Assume further that USER1 enters order user2 prt 789; the following print
queue order results for USER2:
Spoolid Owning User Originator
123 USER2 USER2
789 USER2 USER1
456 USER2 USER1
9101 USER2 USER2
4. The class D user can reorder any files in the system by specifying the SYSTEM
or userid option.
For example, if you enter order system printer class c, all class C printer
files are placed ahead of any other printer files in the system, regardless of who
owns them or originated them.
The ORDER command is also useful to the class D user who wants to place
files owned by a particular user ahead of all other files on a printer or punch
queue. For example, if you enter order user2 punch class b, you place all of
USER2’s Class B punch files ahead of all other punch files on the system.
5. Use the QUERY READER/PRINTER/PUNCH command to determine spool file
attributes, such as class and spool ID, for the files that you want to rearrange.
The display produced by the command shows the current order of the spool
files on the queue that you specify.
6. You can use a combination of CLASS, FORM, DEST and spoolid specifications
to rearrange files. For example, order printer class a 1963 class c form
listing dest bldg2 orders the command issuer’s printer queue as follows:
a. All class A files
b. The file with spoolid 1963
c. All class C files
d. All files with the form LISTING
e. All files with the dest BLDG2.
They are followed by any other printer spool files not specified in the ORDER
command line.
7. A file cannot be ordered more than once in a given command. For example,
assume the following is a user’s spool print queue.
Spoolid
Class
1234 A
4567 B
7890 A
5555 A
8888 B
If the user enters order prt 8888 class a class b, the following order results:
Spoolid
Class
8888 B
1234 A
