The /PRIORITY qualifier uses the value of the priority field to select records for processing. This field is present in all records except file backward link and file forward link records. For print and batch job records, this field contains the priority of the job in the print or batch queue. For other records, it contains the base process priority. The /PRIORITY qualifier selects only records that have the specified values in the priority field. If you precede the values with a minus sign, it selects all records except those with the specified values. Each priority must be a decimal number.
