<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>
