JOBQ

JOBQ is an acronym for JOB Queue. JOBQ is an object in which jobs are submitted to, and wait in line until able to run in the attached subsystem.

Interactive vs. Batch

• Tasks that involve user interaction go through Sub System QINTER, involve workstation display screen input/output, with results to OUTQ then writer to printer.
• When heavy duty calculations and disk space input/output is called for, the interactive task sends that work via SBMJOB to a JOBQ in Sub System QBATCH, with results to OUTQ then writer to printer.
