VMS Help  —  STOP  /QUEUE  /REQUEUE  Qualifiers

1    /ENTRY

       /ENTRY=(entry-number[,...])

    Specifies the entry number of one or more jobs you want to
    abort. If you specify only one entry number, you can omit the
    parentheses.

    The system assigns a unique entry number to each queued print
    or batch job in the system. By default, the PRINT and SUBMIT
    commands display the entry number when they successfully queue
    a job for processing. These commands also create or update the
    local symbol $ENTRY to reflect the entry number of the most
    recently queued job. To find a job's entry number, enter the
    SHOW ENTRY or the SHOW QUEUE command.

    You must use the /ENTRY qualifier when you enter the
    STOP/QUEUE/REQUEUE command for a batch queue. Entry numbers
    specified must match entry numbers of executing jobs.

2    /HOLD

    Places the aborted job or jobs in a hold state for later release
    with the SET ENTRY/RELEASE or SET ENTRY/NOHOLD command.

3    /PRIORITY

       /PRIORITY=n

    Requires OPER (operator) or ALTPRI (alter privilege) privilege to
    raise the priority value above the value of the system parameter
    MAXQUEPRI.

    Changes the priority of the requeued job or jobs. The parameter
    n can be from 0 to 255; the default value of the n parameter is
    the same as the priority value that the job or jobs had when they
    were stopped.

    Generally, the /PRIORITY qualifier is used to lower the priority
    of a job or jobs, which ensures that the job or jobs runs when
    the queue contains no other jobs. No privilege is needed to set
    the priority lower than the MAXQUEPRI value.

4    /REQUEUE

       /REQUEUE=[queue-name]

    Specifies a queue where current jobs are to be requeued. If you
    do not specify the queue-name parameter, the jobs are requeued in
    the current queue.
