The NEWJOBQ command creates a new job queue.

Syntax

NEWJOBQ qname  [;limit=n]

Parameters

qname

Name of the queue to be created. If a queue of this name already exists, an error is indicated.

limit

Maximum number of jobs that can be allowed in this queue. The limit value can be changed using the :limit [+-]n;jobq= command. If omitted, a value of zero is assumed.

Operation Notes

Limit is the only queue controlling property. The jobs in the queue are sorted by their INPRI. In case of a tie for INPRI, jobs are sorted by their INTRO time. The global limit takes precedence over individual queue limits. That is, even if a jobqueue has a slot available, if the overall limit has been reached, jobs have to wait till one of the jobs finish or the global limit is increased. When a global slot becomes available, the next job is picked from among the eligible jobqueues (those which haven't yet reached their individual limits).The job queues persist across reboots, provided a START RECOVERY is done. Any other system starts will cause the job queues to be deleted and they will have to be created again.This command is available in a session, job, or in BREAK. Pressing [Break] has no effect on this command. This command is not allowed in the SYSSTART file.

SM/OP capability is required to execute this command.

Examples

:NEWJOBQ MYJOBQ;limit=100
