VMS Help START, /QUEUE, /MANAGER, Qualifiers, /NEW_VERSION  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

       /NEW_VERSION
       /NONEW_VERSION (default)

    Specifies that a new (empty) version of the queue database is to
    be created. This qualifier is required when initially creating
    and starting the queuing system.

    If you specify this qualifier and a queue database already
    exists, the new master and queue files of the queue database
    supersede existing versions of those files; however, the journal
    file of the existing queue database is deleted. Jobs and other
    information are lost.
