/CHARACTERISTICS=(characteristic[,...])

    Specifies the name or numbers of one or more characteristics to
    be associated with the job. Characteristics can refer to such
    things as color of ink. If you specify only one characteristic,
    you can omit the parentheses.

    A characteristic's number must range from 0 to 127. To see which
    characteristics have been defined for your system, use the SHOW
    QUEUE/CHARACTERISTICS command. To see which characteristics
    are associated with a particular queue, use the SHOW QUEUE/FULL
    command.

    A job can be executed on a queue only if none, some, or all of
    the characteristics associated with the queue also are associated
    with the job, that is, the job's characteristics must be a
    subset of the queue's characteristics. However, if any of the
    characteristics associated with the job are not associated with
    the queue, the job remains pending until one or more of the
    following occurs:

    o  The characteristics specified with the queue are changed
       to make the job's characteristics a subset of the
       queue's characteristics (using, for example, the SET
       QUEUE/CHARACTERISTICS command).

    o  The characteristics specified with the job are changed
       to make the job's characteristics a subset of the
       queue's characteristics (using, for example, the SET
       ENTRY/CHARACTERISTICS command).

    o  The job is moved to a queue on which all the job's
       characteristics have been specified (using, for example, the
       SET ENTRY/REQUEUE command).

    o  The job is deleted (using, for example, the DELETE/ENTRY
       command).
