Thanks everyone. David, good idea. The original premise was to try to keep a Unidata program from overflowing the AIX spooler, which has a max job # of 999. We were hitting it with a couple thousand documents daily (within a few minutes) and the premise was that if I had a job 615 in the spooler, the next 615 that got generated (round robin) would overwrite the first 615. This has subsequently been disproven, so the delay is less of a concern now.
But while I'm here... anyone know how to configure an AIX 5.3 print queue daemon to have longer than 3 character job #'s? -K On Mon, Aug 27, 2012 at 10:48 AM, David L.
