Default system output queues

Defaults on CL commands use the default output queue for the system printer as the default output queue for all spooled output. The system printer is defined by the QPRTDEV server value.

When a spooled file is created by opening a device file and the output queue specified for the file cannot be found, the system attempts to place the spooled file on output queue QPRINT in library QGPL. If for any reason the spooled file cannot be placed on output queue QPRINT, an error message is sent and the output is not spooled.
