Example 7: Determine your output queue

In the printer file, assume the following:

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

Also assume:

• There has been a switch to alternate user profile USR.
• The current user has a group profile X.
• The data area QPRTJOB, of type *LGL, with a value of false (0), exists in library QUSRSYS and is owned by QSPL user profile.
• Another data area QPRTJOB, of type *LGL, with a value of true (1), exists in the first product library of the current job's library list. The QSPL user profile owns the data area.

Note:

The SPLFOWN parameter of the printer file is *CURUSRPRF, and the job has switched to alternate user profile USR. The spooled file will be created under job xxxxxx/USR/QPRTJOB (where xxxxxx is 000000-999999).

The system looks at the OUTQ parameter in the printer file for the output queue name. That value, *JOB, tells the system to look at the OUTQ job attribute. Because data area QPRTJOB with a logical value of true exists, the system will look at the OUTQ job attribute of in the current job, which is PRT04.
