An output queue can be created in a library on an ASP or iASP. However, when using the WRKSPLF command you may not see the spool files that exist on the ASP/iASP unless you first set the iASP group using the command SETASPGRP (ASP/iASP Name).
Note to programmers: If you do programming with some iSeries APIs that retrieve information about spool files, it is not always necessary to specify the ASP/iASP name (unless, of course, you wish to). For example the API QUSLSPL will retrieve a list of spool files on *SYSBAS and on all available ASPs/iASPs without the need to use SETASPGRP; similarly QUSRSPLA will also retrieve spool file attributes without the need to use SETASPGRP.

5/19/09 How to see scheduled jobs in order of submission
When doing various system maintenance and management functions it is sometimes necessary to hold jobs on the Job Scheduler. Instead of using the command WRKJOBSCDE, which presents jobs alphabetically by name, use the command WRKJOBSCDE SEQ(*DATETIME). This will present the list of jobs in the order they are to be submitted, allowing you to quickly find those scheduled jobs that will occur during the timeframe of your system maintenance and management tasks.
