CL Command Reference - CHGOUTQ

CL Command List > CHGOUTQ Reference

Description:

The Change Output Queue (CHGOUTQ) command allows the user to change the attributes of the specified output queue. The following attributes of the output queue can be changed while the writer is active to the output queue:
. Authority to display data from this output queue
. Operator¡¯s authority to control this output queue
. The order of spooled files on this output queue
. Object authority required to control this output queue
. The data queue of the output queue

The following attributes can be changed only while a writer is not active to the specified output queue:
. Number of separator pages per job
. The maximum spooled file size to print
. The remote system to send files to for remote writers
. The printer queue on the remote system to send files to
. The number of writers to auto-start to the output queue
. The message queue used by remote writers
. The connection type of the remote system
. The type of the remote system
. The class for files sent to a VM/MVS/VSE system
. The forms control buffer for files sent to a VM/MVS/VSE system
. The transform option used with connection type TCP/IP
. The manufacturer type and model used with the transform
. The WSCST object used with the transform
. The internet address used with connection type TCP/IP
. The image configuration

If the output queue contains spooled files, the user cannot change the SEQ parameter for the queue. Other CHGOUTQ parameters such as DSPDTA, JOBSEP, and OPRCTL can normally be changed if the output queue contains spooled files. If the user attempts to change the SEQ parameter when the output queue contains spooled files, none of the specified parameters are changed.


Examples:

CHGOUTQ OUTQ(QPRINT4) JOBSEP(4)
TEXT(¡¯Default queue for files using 4-part forms¡¯)

This command changes the number of job separators and the text that describes the output queue named QPRINT4. Four job separator pages are inserted before the spooled files for each job produced from the QPRINT4 output queue.
