/sys$common/syshlp/HELPLIB.HLB  —  START  /QUEUE  Qualifiers  /GENERIC
       /GENERIC[=(queue-name[,...])]
       /NOGENERIC

    Specifies a generic queue. Also specifies that jobs placed in
    this queue can be moved for processing to compatible execution
    queues. The /GENERIC qualifier optionally accepts a list of
    target execution queues that have been previously defined. For a
    generic batch queue, these target queues must be batch execution
    queues. For a generic output queue, these target queues must be
    output execution queues, but can be of any type (printer, server,
    or terminal). For example, a generic printer queue can feed a
    mixture of printer and terminal execution queues.

    Use the /GENERIC qualifier to change the list of target nodes
    for a generic queue. The queue must have been initialized as a
    generic queue with the INITIALIZE/QUEUE/GENERIC command.

    If you do not specify any target execution queues with the
    /GENERIC qualifier, jobs can be moved to any execution queue
    that (1)  is initialized with the /ENABLE_GENERIC qualifier, and
    (2)  is the same type (batch or output) as the generic queue.

    To define the queue as a generic batch or output queue, you use
    the /GENERIC qualifier with either the /BATCH or the /DEVICE
    qualifier. If you specify neither the /BATCH nor the /DEVICE
    qualifier on creation of a generic queue, by default the queue
    becomes a generic printer queue.
