i want to make a individual person all splf must be under my new out queue

One difficult part of that is the use of the word “all”.

We cannot tell you how to route “all” spooled files for a user to a specific *OUTQ because we don’t know the programming that is on your system. We can only tell you how to set a user’s “default” *OUTQ.

A job can include programming that routes spooled files to any *OUTQ on the system regardless of the user’s “default” *OUTQ. Keep in mind that it is only the “default”. If an *OUTQ is explicitly set in a job, then the “default” is ignored.

For example, payroll checks might be set to print only through OUTQ(PAYROLL) on printer device PAYROLL. The user’s “default” will have no effect. The checks are going to print on printer PAYROLL.

OldSysAdmin’s comment mostly describes the hierarchy.

So, if you have a specific case where you changed a user’s default, and spooled output went to a different *OUTQ, please describe those circumstances. Tell us about the job that created the spooled file. Tell us about the attributes of the spooled file. Perhaps we can begin to explain what happened.

From a Work Management class I took in 1993.
The hierarchy is (top to bottom).
OVRPRTF
Printer device file
OUTQ (*JOB)
DEV (*JOB)
Job Description
OUTQ (*USRPRF)
PRTDEV (*USRPRF)
User Profile
OUTQ (*WRKSTN)
PRTDEV (*WRKSTN)
Device Description
PRTDEV (*SYSVAL)
OUTQ (*DEV)
System Value
QPRTDEV (PRT01)
So user profile come into play in the middle of the list.

If changing the default output queue on the user profile isn’t having an effect, do the following:

1) Check the job description for the user profile
2) Check the job description the job(s) is running under
3) Check the print file(s) definition
4) Check the jobs for specific overrides

One or more of the above elements is superseding the default output queue on the user profile.

Oh.. What was the problem you are facing when you are trying to do it using CHGUSRPRF.
Can you able to see the OUTQ name(which you have added) when you are trying to see the user profile(DSPUSRPRF).?

i tried using chgusrprf already,but it doesn’t wrk,thats why i asked is there any other way.i don’t know why it doesn’t wrks?

When it comes to, WRKSPLF, it is mainly used to work with Spool files of a Corresponding user.
After taking WRKSPLF Command you will get the list of Spool files.
For manually changing the OUTQ, You can take Option ’2′(Change + F4) and F10(Additional Parameters), There you will find an option to enter OUTQ.
Remember, By using this, we should be moving spool files one by one.

As suggested already, The best way to do is changing the User Profile(or corresponding JOBD).

I understood your Requirement Raja,
I am a bit confused on, Why you are not willing to do the same by modifying User Profile(or Corresponding JOBD)?
Is there any restriction in your requirement not to change the User Profile?
