Default server output queues

 

The server is shipped with the defaults on commands to use the default output queue for the server printer as the default output queue for all spooled output. The server 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 server will attempt 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 will be sent and the output will not be spooled.

The following output queues are supplied with the server:

• QDKT: Default diskette output queue

• QPRINT: Default printer output queue

• QPRINTS: Printer output queue for special forms

• QPRINT2: Printer output queue for 2-part paper
