Re: Duplicate Queues

Dan,

Have you ever used Query/400?  So, unless they want to wrap every query
they use with a program they have to specify a device.

Screen is pretty basic:

Printer  . . . . . . . . .   *PRINT

Form size:
 Length . . . . . . . . .
 Width  . . . . . . . . .   132

Start line . . . . . . . .

End line . . . . . . . . .

Line spacing . . . . . . .   1

Print definition . . . . .   N

There is no way to specify output queue unless
- You use wrapper programs
- You use a device associated with that output queue.

I don't see any reason for having a printer device description you're
never going to use. That is, a dummy printer device.

The query doesn't reference a printer, it references a print file. The
printer file names an outq. The outq is attached to the printer device
description by the print writer.

Goes like this:

Program names a print file.
Print file may be overridden.
Print file names an outq.
Outq is attached to a printer device description by a print writer.

The only reason to have a reference to an outq in a printer device
description is autostart. QSTRUP goes through the list of printer device
descriptions looking for ones with autostart. It does a STRPRTWTR for
each of those using the defaults, which is outq(*devd).

Yes, that is correct - dummy device is for queries.

I'm going to go with your suggestion Rob and keep the QUSRSYS/MONTHEND
queue.  That said, I just found 13 printer overrides in our MAPICS app
that overrides printer files to QGPL/MONTHEND.  Now I've got to go
change those...

However, if they created the dummy device to receive printouts from
query, where will the spool files go?  Let alone the fact that what you
suggest

can't be done.
crtoutq qgpl/robone
CRTDEVPRT DEVD(ROBONE) DEVCLS(*VRT) TYPE(3812) MODEL(1) ONLINE(*NO)
dltoutq qusrsys/robone
CPF3469 - Operation not allowed for output queue. ...because it is used
to spool output files for device ROBONE.

Just delete the MONTHEND in QUSRSYS created when you created the
MONTHEND device description. The only thing that really cares about the
relationship between the outq and the device is the print writer. If you
never start the writer, there's no issue. Writers can be started in
QSTRUP (autostart) but needn't be.

Subject: Duplicate Queues

We've had an outqueue called QGPL/MONTHEND for many years and when I
recently created a dummy printer called MONTHEND, the system created
another MONTHEND queue in QUSRSYS.  Now, our month-end job stream is
sending reports to both queues as a result of printer overrides for
printer MONTHEND.

Can I just blow away the QUSRSYS/MONTHEND queue?  And can anyone offer
guidelines for the creation of outqueues with respect to libraries?

Thanks in advance.
