Rob, you are correct. It can't be deleted. The devd carries a
relationship to the outq and doesn't give any opportunities to change
it. There must also be a flag in the outq object. Thanks for the
correction. You can delete the devd and then delete the outq.
So, OP, if you want an outq to receive printouts from query, but don't
want to actually attach a printer to it, just create the outq without
the devd. If you want to actually print one of those, either move it to
an outq that has a printer attached, or start a writer on the outq and
direct it to a print device.

However, if they created the dummy device to receive printouts from
query, where will the spool files go? Let alone the fact that what you
suggest can't be done.
crtoutq qgpl/robone
CRTDEVPRT DEVD(ROBONE) DEVCLS(*VRT) TYPE(3812) MODEL(1) ONLINE(*NO)
dltoutq qusrsys/robone
CPF3469 - Operation not allowed for output queue. ...because it is used
to spool output files for device ROBONE.

Just delete the MONTHEND in QUSRSYS created when you created the
MONTHEND device description. The only thing that really cares about the
relationship between the outq and the device is the print writer. If you
never start the writer, there's no issue. Writers can be started in
QSTRUP (autostart) but needn't be.

Subject: Duplicate Queues
We've had an outqueue called QGPL/MONTHEND for many years and when I
recently created a dummy printer called MONTHEND, the system created
another MONTHEND queue in QUSRSYS. Now, our month-end job stream is
sending reports to both queues as a result of printer overrides for
printer MONTHEND.
Can I just blow away the QUSRSYS/MONTHEND queue? And can anyone offer
guidelines for the creation of outqueues with respect to libraries?
Thanks in advance.
