Table 13-1: Qualifiers for Specifying Queue Options
Type of
Queue Description
Creates an autostart execution queue and specifies the node or
nodes (and for output queues, the device or devices) on which the
queues can run. For more information, see Section 13.7.2.2.
/BASE_PRIORITY Batch
and
output
Specifies a base process priority (not the same as the job scheduling
priority). For a batch queue, specifies the base priority for pro-
cesses executing jobs in the queue. For output queues, specifies the
base priority of the symbiont process. For more information, see
Section 13.8.5.1 and the OpenVMS DCL Dictionary .
/BLOCK_LIMIT Output Limits the size of print jobs that can be processed on an output
execution queue. For more information, see Section 13.8.6.
/CHARACTERISTICS Batch
and
output
Specifies one or more characteristics associated with the queue. For
more information, see Section 13.8.3.
/CPUDEFAULT Batch Defines the base value for the default CPU time limit for batch jobs
executed in the queue. For more information, see Section 13.8.5 and
the OpenVMS DCL Dictionary .
/CPUMAXIMUM Batch Defines a maximum CPU time limit for batch jobs executed in the
queue. For more information, see Section 13.8.5 and the OpenVMS
DCL Dictionary .
/DEFAULT Output Establishes defaults for certain options of the PRINT command.
After you set an option for the queue with the /DEFAULT qualifier,
users do not have to specify that option in their PRINT commands.
However, they can specify options to override the defaults set on the
queues. Possible default options are as follows:
BURST-Controls whether file flag pages with a burst bar between
them are printed preceding output. For more information, see
Section 13.8.7.
Qualifier
Type of
Queue Description
Specifies a text string to provide users with information about the
queue. For more information, see the OpenVMS DCL Dictionary .
/DEVICE Output Specifies the type of output execution queue. The keywords are as
follows:
PRINTER (default)-Specifies a printer queue. This is the default.
TERMINAL-Specifies a terminal queue.
SERVER-Specifies a server queue.
For more information, see Section 13.3.2 and the OpenVMS DCL
Dictionary .
/DISABLE_SWAPPING Batch Specifies whether batch jobs executed from a queue can be swapped
in and out of memory. For more information, see Section 13.8.5.
/FORM_MOUNTED Output Specifies the mounted form for an output execution queue. For
more information, see Section 13.8.9.
/GENERIC Batch
and
output
Creates a generic queue and names the execution queues it feeds.

Type of
For more information, see Section 13.7.2.3.
/JOB_LIMIT Batch Indicates the number of batch jobs that can be executed concur-
rently from a batch queue. For more information, see Section 13.8.5.
/LIBRARY Output Specifies the file name for a device control library. For more
information, see Section 13.8.12.
Queue Description
/NAME_OF_MANAGER Batch
and
output
be associated. For more information, see Section 12.8.
/ON Batch
and
output
for output queues, the device) on which the queue is to run. For
more information, see Section 13.7.2.2.
/OWNER_UIC Batch
and
output
information, see Section 13.8.1.
/PROCESSOR Output Specifies the symbiont to be used with an output execution
queue. The default is the standard operating system print sym-
biont PRTSMB. For more information, see Section 13.3.2 and the
OpenVMS DCL Dictionary .
/PROTECTION Batch
and
output
Section 13.8.1.
/RECORD_BLOCKING Output Determines whether the symbiont can concatenate (or block to-
gether) output records for transmission to the output device. For
more information, see the OpenVMS DCL Dictionary .
/RETAIN Batch
and
output
mation, see Section 13.8.2.
/SCHEDULE Output Specifies whether pending jobs in a queue are scheduled based on
the size of the job. For more information, see Section 13.8.6.
Queue Description
/SEPARATE Output Specifies required job separation or job reset options for an output
execution queue. Required options cannot be overridden by the
PRINT command. Possible options are as follows:
BURST-Controls whether two job flag pages with a burst bar be-
tween them are printed at the beginning of each job. For more
information, see Section 13.8.7.
FLAG-Controls whether a job flag page is printed at the beginning
of each job. For more information, see Section 13.8.7.
RESET-Specifies one or more device control library modules you
want to use to reset the device after any file trailer and before any
job trailer. For more information, see Section 13.8.12.
TRAILER-Controls whether a job trailer page is printed at the end
of each job. For more information, see Section 13.8.7.
/WSDEFAULT Batch
and
output
For batch queues, specifies a default working set size for batch
jobs executed in the queue. For output queues, specifies a default
working set size for the symbiont process.
The value set by this qualifier overrides the value defined in the
UAF of any user submitting a job to the queue. For more informa-
tion, see Section 13.8.5.
/WSEXTENT Batch
and
output
For batch queues, specifies the working set extent for batch jobs
executed in the queue. For output queues, specifies a working set
extent for the symbiont process.
The value set by this qualifier overrides the value defined in the
UAF of any user submitting a job to the queue. For more informa-
tion, see Section 13.8.5.
/WSQUOTA Batch
and
output
For batch queues, specifies the working set quota for batch jobs
executed in the queue. For output queues, specifies a working set
quota for the symbiont process.
The value set by this qualifier overrides the value defined in the
UAF of any user submitting a job to the queue. For more informa-
tion, see Section 13.8.5.
