Obtaining the Spooler Statistics and Status
Obtaining the Status of a Print Process (Command Code 5)
To obtain the status of a print process, set the command-code parameter of
SPOOLERSTATUS2 to 5 and pass a 128-word status buffer to SPOOLERSTATUS2
The following STRUCT shows the fields of the buffer:
STRUCT print;
BEGIN
STRING process^name [0:5]; ! print process name,
! blank-filled
INT state, ! print process state:
! 1 = Active
! 2 = Dormant
! 3 = Procerror
! 4 = Drain
flags, ! print process flags
! (1 = yes, 0 = no)
! flags.<14> = Associate
! print process
! flags.<15> = Debug mode
last^error; ! last error logged on
! print process
STRUCT program^file; ! program file of print process
BEGIN
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 print
! process program
! cpus.<0:7> = primary
! cpus.<8:15> = backup
priority, ! execution priority of
! the print process
parameter; ! parameter from Spoolcom
! command
END;
If you want the status of all print processes in the spooler subsystem, fill the
print.process^name field with blanks and set bit 15 of the scan-type parameter
to 1.The first call will return the status of the print process whose name comes first
alphabetically. Continue calling SPOOLERSTATUS2 until it returns error %14006 (end
of entries).
If you want the status of a particular print process, fill the print.process^name field
with the name of the print process whose status you want (fill the right side of the field
with blanks). Then call SPOOLERSTATUS2 with bit 15 of the scan-type parameter
set to 0.
