Example 4: Determine your output queue

In the printer file, assume the following:

• The SPLFOWN value is *JOB
• The OUTQ value is *JOB
• The DEV value is *JOB
• The SPOOL value is *YES

Also assume that there has been a switch to an alternate user profile USR.

Note:

The SPLFOWN parameter of the printer file is *JOB, and the job has switched to user profile USR. The current job will create the spooled file.

The system looks at the OUTQ parameter in the printer file for the output queue name. The value, in this example, *JOB, tells the system to look at the OUTQ job attribute. Because the SPFLOWN parameter is set to *JOB, the job attribute OUTQ of the current job is used. The value is PRT03. In this example, the spooled file goes to output queue PRT03.
