Assign the output queue to a job or job description

Before you can use a newly created output queue, you need to assign it to a job or to a job description. You can assign the output queue by using iSeries™ Navigator or the character-based interface.

Parent topic: Manage output queues

iSeries Navigator

To use iSeries Navigator to assign the output queue to a job, do the following.

In iSeries Navigator, expand Work Management > Active Jobs > Right-click a job and click Properties > click the Printer Output tab .

Character-based interface

You can also change the job description to use the new output queue. Thus, all of the jobs that use the job description will use the new output queue. Use the character-based interface to assign an output queue to a job description.

Command: Change Job Description (CHGJOBD)

The following example will change the job description AMJOBS so that the output queue QPRINT is used.

CHGJOBD JOBD(AMJOBS/AMJOBS) OUTQ(*LIBL/QPRINT)
