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.
