VMS Help SHOW, QUEUE, /CHARACTERISTICS, Qualifier, /OUTPUT  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

       /OUTPUT[=filespec]
       /NOOUTPUT

    Controls where the output of the command is sent. By default the
    output of the SHOW QUEUE/CHARACTERISTICS command is sent to the
    current SYS$OUTPUT device (usually your terminal). To send the
    output to a file, use the /OUTPUT qualifier followed by a file
    specification.

    The file specification may not include any wildcard characters.
    If you enter a partial file specification (for example,
    specifying only a directory), SHOW is the default file name and
    .LIS is the default file type.

    If you enter the /NOOUTPUT qualifier, output is suppressed.
