    A job that normally creates multiple output files in output queue ABC is now creating them in output queue QPRINT. Which of the following is the likely cause of this problem?

    • The writer for output queue ABC is not started.

    • The system value QDFTOUTQ has been set to QPRINT.

    • The job was submitted with a change to the JOBD parameter.

    • The user submitting the job does not have *SPLCTL special authority.

    Correct Answer
    A. The job was submitted with a change to the JOBD parameter.
    Explanation
    The likely cause of the problem is that the job was submitted with a change to the JOBD parameter. This means that when the job was submitted, the parameter that specifies the output queue was modified to QPRINT instead of the default value ABC. As a result, the job is now creating multiple output files in the QPRINT output queue instead of the expected ABC output queue.

    An operator has received a CD with PTFs for installation on multiple systems. After processing them with a GO PTF, option 8, one of the LPARs returns the message "No PTFs installed." Which of the following is the most likely cause?

    • The media is defective.

    • The PTFs are already on the LPAR.

    • An IPL is necessary to install the PTFs on that LPAR.

    • There is a message in QSYSOPR that requires a response.

    Correct Answer
    A. The PTFs are already on the LPAR.
    Explanation
    The most likely cause for the message "No PTFs installed" after processing the CD with PTFs using the GO PTF, option 8, is that the PTFs are already installed on the LPAR. This means that the operator has mistakenly processed the PTFs again, resulting in the message indicating that no new PTFs were installed.
