Setting Up and Maintaining Queues

14.7 Maintaining Queues

You can use the F$GETQUI lexical function to obtain information about the

following types of objects:

Characteristics

Forms

Queues

Jobs contained in queues

Files of jobs contained in queues

For example, you could write a command procedure to display the total number of

blocks of jobs in a pending state in all printer queues. You must have read access

to the job or SYSPRV or OPER privilege to obtain job and ﬁle information.

For more information about the system service invoked by the F$GETQUI lexical

function, refer to the description of the $GETQUI system service in the OpenVMS

System Services Reference Manual.
