Setting Up and Maintaining Queues
14.6 Using Queue Options
Example
In the following example, the characteristic name SECOND_FLOOR is assigned
to characteristic number 2. The logical names SALES_FLOOR and SALES_
DEPT are defined as equivalent to the characteristic name SECOND_FLOOR. As
a result, the logical names SALES_FLOOR and SALES_DEPT are equivalent
to the characteristic name SECOND_FLOOR and characteristic number 2.
These logical names can be specified as the characteristic-name value for any
/CHARACTERISTIC=characteristic-name qualifier.
$ DEFINE/CHARACTERISTIC SECOND_FLOOR 2
$ DEFINE/SYSTEM/EXECUTIVE_MODE SALES_FLOOR SECOND_FLOOR
$ DEFINE/SYSTEM/EXECUTIVE_MODE SALES_DEPT SECOND_FLOOR
14.6.3.2 Displaying Characteristics Defined on a System

14.6.3.3 Assigning Characteristics to a Queue
No characteristics are assigned to a queue by default. To assign characteristics to
a queue, include the /CHARACTERISTICS qualifier with INITIALIZE/QUEUE,
START/QUEUE, or SET QUEUE.

$ SET QUEUE/CHARACTERISTICS=(EAST) LN03_1
14.6.3.4 Displaying Characteristics Assigned to a Queue
To determine the characteristics defined for a queue, enter SHOW
QUEUE/FULL.
Example
$ SHOW QUEUE/FULL LN03_1
Printer queue LN03_1, idle, on HERA::TTA3, mounted form DEFAULT
<Printer queue on node HERA for an LN03 printer>
/BASE_PRIORITY=4 /CHAR=(1) /DEFAULT=(FLAG=ONE,FORM=LN03$PORTRAIT
(stock=DEFAULT)) /LIBRARY=LN03LIBRARY Lowercase
/OWNER=[SYSTEM] /PROCESSOR=LATSYM /PROTECTION=(S:M,O:D,G:R,W:R)
/SEPARATE=(RESET=(ANSI$RESET))
