Displaying output queue information

Enter the *INQUIRY,U command to display information for work currently on the output service writer queue (Q=WTR), the output service hold queue (Q=HOLD), or the output service MVS/BDT queue (Q=BDT). The following subsections describe the parameters you can include in the command. If you do not specify a particular queue, the display contains information for the writer queue.

For example, you can enter requests that are either general or specific. If you do not include the J= keyword, the response provides information about the entire selected queue. If you include the J= keyword, the response provides information about the specified job; or in the case of J=?, information about all the jobs in the selected queue that meet all other selection requirements in the command.

If you want information for a specific data set in the indicated job, include either the DD= keyword or the DSN= keyword on the *INQUIRY,U command. If you do not include the DD= or the DSN= keyword on the command, the response contains all data sets for the specified job. The data sets are identified by general type: print (PRT), punch (PUN), and any other qualifiers that you specify in the command.

Responses to this command are sent to the console entering the command unless you redirect the response to a different console. JES3 issues message IAT8131 in response to this command.
