<h4 id="rzaluoutq">Output queue</h4>
|
|
<p><span class="italic">Output queues</span> are objects, defined to the system,
|
|
that provide a place for spooled files to wait until they are printed. Output
|
|
queues are created by a user or by the system.</p>
|
|
<p>You can create an output queue using the Create Output Queue (CRTOUTQ)
|
|
command. On the prompt display, specify the name for the output queue to create.
|
|
The output queue will be in the library identified by the library prompt.
|
|
You can create as many output queues as you want.</p>
|
|
<p>When a printer is configured to the system, either manually or through
|
|
automatic configuration, the system creates an output queue for that printer
|
|
in the QUSRSYS library. System-created output queues are commonly called device
|
|
output queues and have the same name as the printer device. For example, when
|
|
you configure a printer using the Create Device Description (Printer) (CRTDEVPRT)
|
|
command, if you assign the printer name PRT01 in the DEVD parameter, the system
|
|
creates an output queue named PRT01 in the QUSRSYS library.</p>
|
|
<p>If none of the IBM-supplied default values for the system have been changed,
|
|
you can identify your output queue by displaying the system value Default
|
|
printer (QPRTDEV). Your output queue has the same name as the value shown
|
|
for the system printer.</p>
|
|
<p>Spooled files are created when application programs are run. If you do
|
|
not want the spooled files to print right away, you can have them sent to
|
|
an output queue that currently does not have a printer assigned to it. For
|
|
example, let us assume that you have only one printer available. One of your
|
|
application programs creates a job that has 600 pages of printed output. Since
|
|
all users are using the same printer, you do not want to print the 600-page
|
|
job until everyone has finished working for the day. One solution is to create
|
|
two separate output queues. One output queue receives the spooled files from
|
|
the application program that creates the 600 pages of printed output. The
|
|
other output queue receives the spooled files from the jobs run by other users.</p>
|
|
<p>The program that creates the 600-page job sends the spooled file to a specific
|
|
output queue. That output queue does not have a printer assigned to it. Therefore,
|
|
the 600-page spooled file has to wait until a printer is assigned; meanwhile,
|
|
the spooled files that are in the other output queue can be printed. Multiple
|
|
output queues can also be used with deferred printing. To print a large spooled
|
|
file that exceeds the current limit for the printer's output queue, the printer
|
|
can be assigned to an output queue without any limit. Another solution is
|
|
to set the maximum spooled file size to print during a specified time. For
|
|
example, a maximum spooled file size of 100 pages could be set from 08:00:00
|
|
to 17:30:00 hours. During this time, only spooled files of 100 or fewer pages
|
|
would print. After 5:30 p.m. any spooled file prints. Spooled files that are
|
|
too large are placed in deferred status (*DFR) until they can be printed.
|
|
See <a href="rzaluconfigmaxpages.htm#rzaluconfigmaxpages">Control printing by spooled file size</a> for more information on how to configure
|
|
deferred printing.</p>
