Hi,
Using the DSAB QUI$QUEUE the QUEUE_STATUS_TEXT field is empty if the
queue is busy. On a VMS V5.4-3 system the $SHOW QUEUE also didn't give
a status when the queue was busy or idle (on $ SHOW QUEUE).
But VMS 5.5 will return the status, f.e. Stopped, Idle or Busy. But
still the QUI$QUEUE DSAB won't return the status when the queue is
busy.
Problems will araise if you want to build an index-form in which you
can display queues and their status.
You cannot simply BIND *Q TO QUI$QUEUE but have to do some extra work
for it (just like in DL$INDEX). Performance will decrease.
Any comment on this one?
Thanks in advance. Sjaak.

Sjaak,
The busy status value is a feature of the new job controller in VMS
V5.5. The QUI$QUEUE data set only supports features up to VMS V5.4, so
will not know anything about the new features.
The behaviour that you are experiencing will continue until the
QUI$QUEUE data set is updated to support the new features of VMS V5.5.
I do not know if there are any plans to do this in a PFR - I suggest
you contact Product Management if you want this to happen.
As long as the named data on the index form continues to use QUI$QUEUE
in a FOR loop, and in the efficient manner described in the API
Reference Guide, then the performance degredation should not be too
bad.

| 670.3 | IQ option - blank status field | UTRTSC::BOSMAN | We're just sugar mice in the rain | Mon May 18 1992 13:20 | 4 |
I just tested this on a V3.0 system using the option IQ on the 'Manage
Jobs and Queues". It also results in a blank status field!
