Multiple output queues

You might want to create multiple output queues for these reasons.

  • Special forms printing
  • Output to be printed after normal working hours
  • Output that is not printed

    An output queue can be created to handle spooled files that need only be displayed or copied to a database file. Care should be taken to remove unneeded spooled files.

  • Special uses

    For example, each programmer can be given a separate output queue.

  • Output of special system files

    You might want to consider separate queues for the following system-supplied files:

    • QPJOBLOG: You might want all job logs sent to a separate queue.
    • QPPGMDMP: You might want all program dumps sent to a separate queue so you can review and print them if needed or clear them daily.
    • QPSRVDMP: You might want all service dumps sent to a separate queue so the service representative can review them if needed.
