The /IDENT qualifier uses the value of the process identifier (PID) field to select records for processing. This field is present in all records except file backward link and file forward link records. For print job records, it contains the PID of the process that submitted the job. The /IDENT qualifier selects only records that have the specified values in the PID field. If you precede the values with a minus sign, it selects all records except those with the specified values. Each process-id must be a hexadecimal number of eight digits or less. See also the /OWNER qualifier, which selects or rejects records for subprocesses created by specified processes.
