Step 5: Check queue logical defaulting
Use the following command to check the values of queue default parameters in
the DCPS$STARTUP.COM file, in p4 of the execution queue definition, and in
parameter p3 of the generic queue definition.
$ SHOW LOGICAL DCPS$queuename_PARAMETER
Step 6: Check the queue configurations
The values provided in DCPS$STARTUP.COM are not validated, but simply
passed as parameters to the appropriate OpenVMS commands and utilities.
Therefore, the OpenVMS commands and utilities detect and report any errors
directly. Refer to the OpenVMS System Messages: Companion Guide for Help
Message Users for an explanation of error messages issued by the following
DCL commands:
• INITIALIZE/QUEUE
• SET TERMINAL
• SET DEVICE
Note
To debug DCL command procedures and record the information in a
file, you can use the following commands:
$ SET HOST 0/LOG
$ SET VERIFY
Alternatively, you can set parameter p8 in the execution queue
definition in DCPS$STARTUP.COM to 1 for automatic recording.
