Selects or rejects records for print and batch jobs with the specified queue entry numbers. Format /ENTRY=([-]entry_number[,...])
1 – Description
The /ENTRY qualifier uses the value of the queue entry number field to select records for processing. This field is present in all records except file backward link and file forward link records. For records that contain information about print or batch jobs, it contains the unique entry number assigned to the job in the print or batch queue. The /ENTRY qualifier selects only records that have the specified values in the queue entry number field. If you precede the values with a minus sign, it selects all records except those with the specified values. Each entry-number must be a decimal number of ten digits or less. See also the /JOB and /QUEUE qualifiers, which select or reject records for print and batch jobs with specified job and queue names.
