Job queue entry

A job queue entry identifies a job queue from which jobs are selected for running in the subsystem. There are five parameters in the job queue entry that control how the job queue should be handled.

Subsystem Description (SBSD)
This is the name and the library of the subsystem description to which the job queue entry is added.
Job queue (JOBQ)
Specifies the name and library of the job queue that is a source of batch jobs that are started by the subsystem.
Maximum active jobs (MAXACT)
Specifies the maximum number of jobs that can be active at the same time from this job queue.
Sequence number (SEQNBR)
Specifies a sequence number for this job queue, which is used by the subsystem to determine the order in which the job queues are processed.
Max active priority 1 (through 9) (MAXPTYx)
