Obtaining the Spooler Statistics and Status
Obtaining the Status of a Collector (Command Code 18)
To obtain the status of a collector, set the command-code parameter of 
SPOOLERSTATUS2 to 18 and pass a 128-word status buffer to SPOOLERSTATUS2. 
The following STRUCT shows the fields of the buffer:
STRUCT collector; 
BEGIN 
 STRING name [0:5];  ! collector process name, in 
! local form, blank-filled 
 INT state,  ! collector state: 
! 1 = Active 
! 2 = Dormant 
! 3 = Procerror 
! 4 = Drain 
 reserved,  ! reserved for use by HP 
 last^error;  ! last error recorded on collector
STRUCT program^file;  ! file name of collector 
BEGIN  ! program 
 INT volume [0:3],  ! $volume, blank-filled 
 subvolume [0:3],  ! subvolume, blank-filled 
 filename [0:3];  ! file name, blank-filled 
END;
INT cpus,  ! CPUs executing the 
! collector program 
! cpus.<0:7> = primary 
! cpus.<8:15> = backup 
 priority;  ! execution priority of 
! the collector process 
STRUCT data^file;  ! file name of collector 
BEGIN  ! output file 
 INT volume [0:3],  ! $volume, blank-filled 
 subvolume [0:3],  ! subvolume, blank-filled 
 filename [0:3];  ! file name, blank-filled 
END; 
 INT unit^size;  ! number of blocks reserved 
! for when it needs more 
! disk space 
 INT (32) units^allocated;  ! number of blocks already 
! allocated 
 INT (32) total^units;  ! total number of units 
! available in data file
 INT pagesize;  ! default page size
END;
If you want the status of all collectors in the spooler subsystem, fill the 
collector.name field with blanks and set bit 15 of the scan-type parameter to 
1.The first call will return the status of the device whose name comes first 
alphabetically. Continue calling SPOOLERSTATUS2 until it returns error %14006 (end 
of entries).
If you want the status of a particular collector, fill the collector.name field with the 
name of the collector whose status you want (blank-fill the right side of the field). Then 
call SPOOLERSTATUS2 with bit 15 of the scan-type parameter set to 0.
