PRINTSTATUS[2] Procedure

The PRINTSTATUS procedure can be used in print processes to communicate with the

supervisor and to send an unsolicited status message to the spooler supervisor.

PRINTSTATUS[2] is the same procedure with a larger buffer.

error-code returned value

INT

returns one of the following spooler error codes:

filenum-of-supervisor input

INT:value

is the file number of an open supervisor file. The file number is returned when the

supervisor is opened.

print-control-buffer input

is the buffer obtained from the PRINTCOMPLETE[2] procedure.

error-code := PRINTSTATUS[2] ( filenum-of-supervisor ! i

,print-control-buffer ! i

,msg-type ! i

,device ! i

,[ error ] ! i

,[ num-copies ] ! i

,[ page ] ! i

,[ line ] ! i

,[ lines-printed ] ); ! i

%2000-%2377 File error on data file (bits <8:15> contain a file-system error

number).

%3000-%3377 Supervisor file error (bits <8:15> contain a file-system error

number). This error indicates a communication problem with

the supervisor. A print process receiving this error can call

ABEND, retry the operation a number of times, or continue

reading and printing jobs without any further communication

with the supervisor.

%4000-%4377 Device error sent to the supervisor by the print process (bits

<8:15> contain a file-system error number).

INT:ref:64 (Use with PRINTSTATUS)

INT:ref:128 (Use with PRINTSTATUS2)
