Job name (JOB)

Specifies the name of the job that created the spooled file. This parameter is valid only if a spooled file name is specified on the Spooled file (FILE) parameter.

Single values

*: The job from which this WRKPRTSTS command was entered is the job that created the spooled file.

Qualifier 1: Job name

name: Specify the name of the job that created the spooled file. If no job qualifier is given, all of the jobs currently in the system are searched for the simple job name.

Qualifier 2: User

name: Specify the name of the user profile under which the spooled file was created.

Qualifier 3: Number

000000-999999: Specify the system-assigned number of the job that created the spooled file.

Spooled file number (SPLNBR)

Specifies the number of the spooled file being processed. This parameter is valid only if a spooled file name is specified on the Spooled file (FILE) parameter.

*ONLY: Only one spooled file from the job on the specified queue has the specified file name; no spooled file number is needed. If *ONLY is specified and more than one spooled file on the output queue has the same name, an error message is shown.
*LAST: The highest-numbered spooled file that is on the specified output queue and that has the specified file name is processed first.

*ANY: The spooled file number is not used to determine which spooled file is used. Use this value when the job system name parameter or the spooled file create date and time parameter is to take precedence over the spooled file number when selecting a spooled file.

number: Specify the number of the job's spooled file that is on the specified output queue and that is being processed first.

Job system name (JOBSYSNAME)

*CURRENT: The spooled file created on the current system with the specified job name, user name, job number, spooled file name, spooled file number, and create date and time is used.

name: Specify the name of the system where the job that created the spooled file ran.

Spooled file created (CRTDATE)

Specifies the date and time the spooled file was created. This parameter is considered after the job name, user name, job number, spooled file name, spooled file number, and job system name parameter requirements have been met.

Examples

WRKPRTSTS   FILE(MYFILE)

This command assumes that the user has a spooled file on an output queue that does not have a printer attached to it. When the user specifies this command, the Work with Printing Status panel will be shown. One status message that would apply to the file named MYFILE would be, "This file is not associated with a started printer." Depending on the status of MYFILE, other status types could be shown.
