Qualifiers
/ALL_JOBS
Displays all the jobs in the specified queues. You must have read
(R) access to the job to show information about any jobs.
/BATCH
Displays only batch queues and jobs in those queues.
/BRIEF
/BRIEF (default)
Displays a one-line description of each queue and jobs that are
in it. This information includes the name, type, and status of
each queue. It also includes the entry number, the job name,
the user name, and the status for each job shown. The /FULL and
/FILES qualifiers override the /BRIEF qualifier.
/BY_JOB_STATUS
/BY_JOB_STATUS=(keyword-list)
Displays queues that contain jobs that match the specified
status. By default, jobs owned by the user are displayed. Specify
the status with one or more of the following keywords:
EXECUTING Requests the display of jobs in any of the
following states:
ABORTING STALLED
EXECUTING STARTING
PRINTING SUSPENDED
PROCESSING
ABORTING means that the job is halting prior to
normal completion and will not continue processing.
A SUSPENDED state means that the job stopped during
processing, but should continue when the cause of
the SUSPENDED state is resolved. PROCESSING is the
executing state for server queues. PRINTING is the
executing state for printer and terminal queues.
STARTING means the job is beginning to be processed
or printed. A STALLED or SUSPENDED state means
that the job stopped during processing, but should
continue when the cause of the STALLED or SUSPENDED
state is resolved.
HOLDING Requests the display of jobs on hold. Holding
status indicates that the job is being held in
the queue indefinitely.
PENDING Requests the display of jobs with pending status.
Pending status indicates that the job is waiting
its turn to execute.
RETAINED Requests the display of jobs retained in the queue
after execution. Retained status indicates that the
job has completed, but it remains in the queue.
TIMED_ Requests the display of jobs on hold until a
RELEASE specified time. Timed release status indicates that
the job is being held in the queue for execution at
a specified time.
Note that if you specify the qualifier without a keyword, the
system will only display queues that actually contain jobs.
/DEVICE
/DEVICE[=(keyword-list)]
Displays a particular type of queue and jobs in that queue.
Specify the type of device queue with one or more of the
following keywords:
PRINTER Requests the display of print queues.
SERVER Requests the display of server queues.
TERMINAL Requests the display of terminal queues.
You can specify more than one keyword. If you do not specify a
keyword with the /DEVICE qualifier, all printer, terminal, and
server queues are displayed.
/EXACT
Use with the /PAGE=SAVE and /SEARCH qualifiers to specify a
search string that must match the search string exactly and must
be enclosed with quotation marks (" ").
If you specify the /EXACT qualifier without the /SEARCH
qualifier, exact search mode is enabled when you set the search
string with the Find (E1) key.
/FILES
Adds to the display the list of files associated with each job.
The /FILES qualifier overrides the /BRIEF qualifier.
/FULL
Displays complete information about queues, jobs contained
in queues, and the files associated with the jobs. The /FULL
qualifier overrides the /BRIEF qualifier.
/GENERIC
Displays only generic queues and jobs in those queues. A generic
queue is not an execution queue. Its function is to hold jobs
of a particular type (line printer jobs, for example) and direct
them to execution queues for processing.
/HIGHLIGHT
/HIGHLIGHT[=keyword]
Use with the /PAGE=SAVE and /SEARCH qualifiers to specify the
type of highlighting you want when a search string is found. When
a string is found, the entire line is highlighted. You can use
the following keywords: BOLD, BLINK, REVERSE, and UNDERLINE. BOLD
is the default highlighting.
/OUTPUT
/OUTPUT[=filespec]
/NOOUTPUT
Controls where the output of the command is sent. By default,
the output of the SHOW QUEUE 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 asterisk (*) and the percent sign (%) wildcard characters
are not allowed in the file specification. 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.
/PAGE
/PAGE[=keyword]
/NOPAGE (default)
Controls the display of information on the screen.
You can use the following keywords with the /PAGE qualifier:
CLEAR_SCREEN Clears the screen before each page is displayed.
SCROLL Displays information one line at a time.
SAVE[=n] Enables screen navigation of information, where n
is the number of pages to store.
The /PAGE=SAVE qualifier allows you to navigate through screens
of information. The /PAGE=SAVE qualifier stores up to 5 screens
of up to 255 columns of information. When you use the /PAGE=SAVE
qualifier, you can use the following keys to navigate through the
information:
Key Sequence Description
Up arrow key, Ctrl/B Scroll up one line.
Down arrow key Scroll down one line.
Left arrow key Scroll left one column.
Right arrow key Scroll right one column.
Find (E1) Specify a string to find when the
information is displayed.
Insert Here (E2) Scroll right one half screen.
Remove (E3) Scroll left one half screen.
Select (E4) Toggle 80/132 column mode.
Prev Screen (E5) Get the previous page of information.
Next Screen (E6), Get the next page of information.
Return, Enter, Space
F10, Ctrl/Z Exit. (Some utilities define these
differently.)
Help (F15) Display utility help text.
Do (F16) Toggle the display to oldest/newest
page.
Ctrl/W Refresh the display.
The /PAGE qualifier is not compatible with the /OUTPUT qualifier.
/SEARCH
/SEARCH="string"
Use with the /PAGE=SAVE qualifier to specify a string that you
want to find in the information being displayed. Quotation marks
are required for the /SEARCH qualifier, if you include spaces in
the text string.
You can also dynamically change the search string by pressing the
Find key (E1) while the information is being displayed. Quotation
marks are not required for a dynamic search.
/SUMMARY
Displays the total number of executing jobs, pending jobs,
holding jobs, retained jobs, and timed release jobs for each
queue. For output queues, the total block count for pending jobs
is also shown.
/WRAP
/WRAP
/NOWRAP (default)
Use with the /PAGE=SAVE qualifier to limit the number of columns
to the width of the screen and to wrap lines that extend beyond
the width of the screen to the next line.
The /NOWRAP qualifier extends lines beyond the width of the
screen and can be seen when you use the scrolling (left and
right) features provided by the /PAGE=SAVE qualifier.
