OWNER Command
OWNER Command
The OWNER command changes the owner of the current job. If there is no current
job, then the job most recently spooled becomes the current job. After this command
is issued, the current job becomes the property of the specified owner and can no
longer be accessed by the previous owner.
group-name.user-name
is the name of the new owner, entered without spaces on either side of the period.
group-# , user-#
is the user number of the new owner.
Considerations

The default owner of a job is the user who made the initial request to the spooler.

If a batch job is current, the OWNER command operates on all jobs that are part of
the current batch job.
Examples
1. An example of the OWNER command using the group-name.user-name form is
_OWNER ADMIN.BILL
2. An example of the OWNER command using the group-#, user-# form is
_OWNER 7, 10
3. You have a hold on job 454 and want to transfer its ownership to user 7,10. You
can do this with the OWNER command. When you next display your jobs, job 454
no longer shows, because it now belongs to user 7,10:
_JOB
