<h1 class="topictitle1">Output queues and spooled files</h1>
<div><p>Batch and interactive job processing can result in spooled output
records that are to be processed on an output device, such as a printer or
diskette drive. These output records are stored in spooled files until they
can be processed. There can be many spooled files for a single
job.</p>
<p>When a spooled file is created, the file is placed on an output queue.
Each output queue contains an ordered list of spooled files. A job can have
spooled files on one or more output queues. All spooled files on a particular
output queue should have a common set of output attributes, such as device,
form type, and lines per inch. Using common attributes on an output queue
reduces the amount of intervention required and increases the device throughput.</p>
<div class="p">The following lists some of the parameters on the Create Output Queue (<span class="cmdname">CRTOUTQ</span>)
command and what they specify:<ul><li><span class="parmname">MAXPAGES</span>: Specifies the maximum spooled file size
in pages that is allowed to be printed between a starting and ending time
of day.</li>
<li><span class="parmname">AUTOSTRWTR</span>: Specifies the number of writers that
are started automatically to this output queue.</li>
<li><span class="parmname">DSPDTA</span>: Whether users without any special authority
but who do have *USE authority to the output queue can display, copy, or send
the contents of spooled files other than their own. By specifying *OWNER for
DSPDTA, only the owner of the file or a user with *SPLCTL special authority
can display, copy, or send a file.</li>
<li><span class="parmname">JOBSEP</span>: How many, if any, job separator pages are
to be printed between the output of each job when the output is printed.</li>
<li><span class="parmname">DTAQ</span>: The data queue associated with this output
queue. If specified, an entry is sent to the data queue whenever a spooled
file goes to Ready Status on the queue.</li>
<li><span class="parmname">OPRCTL</span>: Whether a user having job control authority
can control the output queue (for example, if the user can hold the output
queue).</li>
<li><span class="parmname">SEQ</span>: Controls the order in which spooled files will
be sorted on the output queue. </li>
<li><span class="parmname">AUTCHK</span>: Specifies what type of authority to the output
queue will enable a user to control the spooled files on the output queue
(for example, enable the user to hold the spooled files on the output queue).</li>
<li><span class="parmname">AUT</span>: Public authority. Specifies what control users
have over the output queue itself.</li>
<li><span class="parmname">TEXT</span>: Text description. Up to 50 characters of text
that describes the output queue.</li>
</ul>
