Monitoring for a spool file

I remember asking a similar question to this before and can't seem to find
it in the archives. I used an article Brad Stone wrote on monitoring for
spool files and wrote a monitoring program.

My problem I am having is that the outq doesn't seem to be writing an entry
to the dataq. I have the dataq attached, and I know my program is reading
from it, because the ending program will end it. I put the program in debug
and have yet to hit the break (which is on the beginning of a do loop). I
guess my main question is, what should be the size of the dataq for an outq?
And is there anything else I should check to see why I am having problems.
