Assigning the output queue to a job or job description

Before you can use a newly created output queue, you need to assign it to a job or to a job description. You can assign the output queue by using IBM® Navigator for i or the character-based interface.

IBM Navigator for i

To use IBM Navigator for i to assign the output queue to a job, follow these steps:

Expand Work Management > Active Jobs.
Right-click a job and click Printer Output.

Character-based interface

You can also change the job description to use the new output queue. Thus, all of the jobs that use the job description use the new output queue. Use the character-based interface to assign an output queue to a job description.

Command: Change Job Description (CHGJOBD)

The following example changes the job description AMJOBS so that the output queue QPRINT is used.

CHGJOBD JOBD(AMJOBS/AMJOBS) OUTQ(*LIBL/QPRINT)
