JOBQ Statement—Specify the Job Queue for a Program

The JOBQ statement specifies the i5/OS job queue for the submitted program.

Supported Job Type

This statement is optional for the i5/OS job type.

Syntax

This statement has the following format:

JOBQ jobqueue|
     library/jobqueue|
     /QSYS.LIB/library.LIB/jobqueue.JOBQ

library: Specifies the name of the library that contains the job queue. The value must be a valid i5/OS library name.
jobqueue: Specifies the name of the job queue for the submitted program. The value must be a valid i5/OS job queue name.

Notes:

The entire value can be up to 46 characters; it cannot contain delimiters (such as spaces).
If you do not specify the library name, the i5/OS system will search for it using the library list for the job.

Example: Define the Library and Job Queue Names of an i5/OS Job

This example runs a program named PAYLOAD on an i5/OS system. The current library for the job is PAY1, and the job queue is JQUEUE in library QBASE.
