Order of files

The Order of files on the queue (SEQ) attribute determines how the printer output will leave the output queue to be processed.

This attribute has two values:
  • *FIFO: The queue is first-in first-out within priority for each file. That is, new spooled files are placed after all other entries on the queue of the same priority.
  • *JOBNBR : The queue entries for spooled files are sorted in priority sequence using the job number (actually, the date and time that the job entered the system is used) of the job that created the spooled file.
Note: You can only change the output queue order of files attribute when no printer output files are on the queue.
