The /FULL qualifier lists the submission information, the full file specification, and the current settings for the job. Note that entry 629 specified the /COPIES, /NOFEED, and /PASSALL qualifiers to the PRINT command. The /NOFEED qualifier suppresses automatic form feeds. The /PASSALL qualifier suppresses formatting (including form feeds and carriage return characters) performed by the print symbiont. 3.$ SUBMIT ASSIGNMENTS.COM Job ASSIGNMENTS.COM (queue SYS$BATCH, entry 199) pending . . . $ SHOW ENTRY 199/FULL Entry Jobname Username Status ----- ------- -------- ------ 199 ASSIGNMENTS JONES Executing Submitted 19-DEC-2001 08:36 /KEEP /NOLOG/ NOPRINT /PRIORITY=100 File: DUA2:[JONES]ASSIGNMENTS.COM;34 In this example, JONES submits ASSIGNMENTS.COM for batch processing. Because JONES does not specify a specific queue, the job is entered into the generic SYS$BATCH queue to await processing. After performing other tasks, JONES checks the job status and sees that the file is now executing. Note that the job entry migrated from a generic to an execution batch queue and that JONES was able to check the job status without knowing the specific batch queue name. If the user did not specify an entry number, all jobs would have been displayed.
