job-name
   Specifies the name of the job as defined when the job was
   submitted. You can specify only job names that are associated
   with your user name. (A job is associated with the user name of
   the process that submits it.)

   To specify a job that does not have a unique name, use the
   /ENTRY qualifier to specify the entry number. If you specify both
   the job-name parameter and the /ENTRY qualifier, the job-name
   parameter is ignored.

/ENTRY/QUEUE

      /ENTRY=entry-number

   Identifies the job by the system-assigned entry number.

   The system assigns a unique entry number to each queued print or
   batch job in the system. By default, the PRINT and SUBMIT commands
   display the entry number when they successfully queue a job for
   processing. These commands also create or update the local symbol
   $ENTRY to reflect the entry number of the most recently queued
   job. To find a job's entry number, enter the SHOW ENTRY or SHOW
   QUEUE command. If you specify both the job-name parameter and the
   /ENTRY qualifier, the job name is ignored.

      /QUEUE=queue-name[:]

   Names the queue containing the job. If you use the /QUEUE
   qualifier, you must specify either the job-name parameter or
   the /ENTRY qualifier. If you specify the job-name parameter, the
   default queue is SYS$BATCH. If you specify the /ENTRY qualifier,
   there is no default queue.

   1.  $ SUBMIT/NAME=PREP FORMAT/PARAMETERS=(SORT,PURGE)
         Job PREP (queue SYS$BATCH, entry 219) started on queue SYS$BATCH
       $ SUBMIT PHASER
         Job PHASER (queue SYS$BATCH, entry 223) started on queue SYS$BATCH

     In this example, the first SUBMIT command submits the command
     procedure FORMAT.COM for execution and names the job PREP.
     The second SUBMIT command queues the procedure PHASER.COM. The
     procedure PHASER.COM contains the following line:

         $ SYNCHRONIZE PREP

     When this line is processed, the system verifies whether the
     job named PREP exists. The procedure PHASER is forced to wait
     until the job PREP completes execution.

   2.  $ SUBMIT/NAME=TIMER       COMP.COM
         Job TIMER (queue SYS$BATCH, entry 214) started on queue SYS$BATCH
       $ SYNCHRONIZE /ENTRY=214

     In this example, a batch job named TIMER is submitted. Then
     the SYNCHRONIZE command is entered interactively. This command
     places the interactive process in a wait state until entry
     number 214 (TIMER) completes. You cannot enter subsequent
     commands from your terminal session until the SYNCHRONIZE
     command completes and your process is released from the wait
     state.
