I suppose it was OK in some sort of wierd way but there was no way I was going to give it out to the general users. > For all of its faults QUEUE was on the JES2 Mods tape back in the MVS days and even if you did not like it, Q had a very interesting capability. Maybe even today in small shops JES2 testing meant bringing up a Secondary JES2 and submitting work to it. The challenge was to print the output to see what happened. The Checkpoint file was hardcoded in Q and so from TSO one could view the output on the Secondary JES2's Spool. Hey, what'a deal and FREE.
