SET HPQ Command

Function

     The SET HPQ command allows privileged users to place  their  jobs
     in   a   high-priority   run  queue.   When  your  job  is  in  a
     high-priority run queue, you can obtain a faster response than in
     the  normal timesharing queues.  The job remains in the specified
     high-priority queue until one of the following occurs:

      o  You issue another SET  HPQ  command  specifying  a  different
         high-priority queue.

      o  You log out.

      o  Your program overrides the SET HPQ command by issuing an  HPQ
         monitor call with a different value.

     If an HPQ monitor call overrides the command, the level specified
     in  the  monitor  call  remains  in  effect until a RESET or EXIT
     monitor call or another HPQ monitor call with a  different  value
     is executed.  When an EXIT or RESET monitor call is executed, the
     job is returned to the high-priority queue specified in the  last
     SET HPQ command.

Format

     SET HPQ n

     Where:    n is a decimal number  from  0  to  15  indicating  the
               high-priority  queue  to  be entered.  When n is 0, the
               queue is the normal timesharing queue.   Queue  numbers
               from  1  to 15 are high-priority queues.  The number of
               high-priority queues is an installation  parameter  and
               can be less than 15.

Associated Messages

     If you are not privileged, the  system  responds  with  an  error
     message:

Characteristics

     Does not destroy your core image.

     Leaves your terminal at monitor level.

     Requires LOGIN.

Restrictions

     The privileges required for using this command are determined  by
     bits  6 through 9 of the privilege word, .GTPRV.  These four bits
     specify  an  octal  number  from  0-17,  which  is  the   highest
     high-priority queue you can attain.

Example

     You try to set your run queue to 4.

     .SET HPQ 4<RET>

     ?NO PRIVS TO SET PRIORITY THAT HIGH

     Your job is placed in high-priority queue number 2.

     .SET HPQ 2<RET>
