General Inquiry Facility

The general inquiry facility provides information about the system, its various components and operations. Information available includes reference information about commands and applications, database contents, queue information, job status, and schedule information.

The general inquiry commands are also useful in batch mode to obtain hardcopy output of the information provided.

The status (ST=) keyword for the inquiry commands has many values. All can be entered with any of the inquiry commands. Many values can return the message: No queue records match parameters entered because the combination does not exist. An example is listing the active queues (LACT) with the status of skeleton (ST=SKEL). A job in skeleton status never reaches the active queue.
