Moves all print jobs from one formqueue to another.
From-Form-Queue To-Form-Queue
SP-MOVEQ {job-file} from-form-queue to-form-queue {(F}
from-form-queue (From-Form-Queue)
is the name of the formqueue containing the print jobs to be moved.
to-form-queue (To-Form-Queue)
is the name of the destination formqueue for the print jobs.
job-file specifies the job file to be used for the duration of the command execution. If you specify job-file you must also use the F option.
F Specifies that the first parameter after the verb is the required job file.
A print job currently being despooled cannot be moved. It must first be suspended using Action Code 9 or SP-SUSPEND. After suspending and moving a print job, the Spooler resumes printing from the beginning of the job.
Only print jobs in the currently specified job file are recognised and moved. Any attempt to move print jobs residing in another job file will result in an error message. The specified job-file must be local. See also the topic Specified Job File.
When you move a job to a different formqueue, the print job control item is changed so that the print data goes through one queue rather than another. The actual print data does not move. It remains in the same job file. To move the print data to a different job file you must use the SP-COPY command.
To move all print jobs from a formqueue called CHECK to a formqueue called LABELS, enter:
SP-MOVEQ CHECK LABELS
