SHOW QUEUE/CHARACTERISTICS
Displays information about queue characteristics defined for the
system. A characteristic is a user-defined attribute of a batch or
output queue, such as ink color.
Format
SHOW QUEUE/CHARACTERISTICS
[characteristic-name]
Parameter
characteristic-name
Specifies the name of a characteristic. The asterisk (*) and the
percent sign (%) wildcard characters are allowed. The default value for
the characteristic-name parameter is the asterisk wildcard
(*). Thus, information about all characteristics is displayed when you
do not specify a characteristic name.
You create a characteristic name with the DEFINE/CHARACTERISTIC
command. You can then assign it to a queue by using the
INITIALIZE/QUEUE, the SET QUEUE, or the START/QUEUE command with the
/CHARACTERISTICS qualifier. You can also specify characteristics for a
job by using the /CHARACTERISTICS qualifier with the PRINT, the SUBMIT,
or the SET ENTRY command.
Description
The SHOW QUEUE/CHARACTERISTICS command displays the characteristic name
and number of characteristics defined for the system. To see which
characteristics are associated with a particular queue, use the SHOW
QUEUE command with the /FULL qualifier.
Qualifier
/OUTPUT[=filespec]
/NOOUTPUT
Controls where the output of the command is sent. By default the output
of the SHOW QUEUE/CHARACTERISTICS command is sent to the current
SYS$OUTPUT device (usually your terminal). To send the output to a
file, use the /OUTPUT qualifier followed by a file specification.
The file specification may not include any wildcard characters. If you
enter a partial file specification (for example, specifying only a
directory), SHOW is the default file name and .LIS is the default file
type.
If you enter the /NOOUTPUT qualifier, output is suppressed.
