HP OpenVMS Systems Documentation

This example shows how to use the F$GETDVI function to return an error count for the device DQA0. You must place quotation marks (" ") around the device name DQA0 and the item ERRCNT because they are string literals.

$ LIBRARY/EXTRACT=$DCDEF/OUTPUT=$DCDEF.TXT SYS$LIBRARY:STARLET.MLB

      

This example shows how to create a file, $DCDEF.TXT, containing a list of values for device types and device classes from the STARLET library. The device classes begin with 'DC$', and device types begin with 'DT$'.

Note that most modern SCSI disks and tapes return the generic DEVTYPE code (DT$_GENERIC_DK or DT$_GENERIC_MK), therefore you should use the DEVICE_TYPE_NAME item:

$ X=F$GETDVI("XDELTA$DKA0:","DEVICE_TYPE_NAME") $ SHOW SYMBOL X X = "RZ29B"

Returns the value of the specified console environment variable.

Format

F$GETENV (itmlst)

Return Value

Arguments

itmlst

The defined console environment variable names are:

Auto_action, Boot_dev, Bootdef_dev, Booted_dev, Boot_file, Booted_file, Boot_osflags, Booted_osflags, Boot_reset, Dump_dev, Enable_audit, License, Char_set, Language, Tty_dev

Description

Returns the value(s) of the specified console environment variable(s).

Example

$ dump_device = f$getenv("dump_dev")
$ write sys$output "The dump device for this system is ", dump_device

      

This function writes out the dump device for the system.

Returns information about the specified process.

Requires GROUP privilege to obtain information on other processes in the same group. Requires WORLD privilege to obtain information on any other processes in the system.

Format

F$GETJPI (pid,item)

Return Value

Arguments

pid

Specifies the process identification (PID) number of the process for which information is being reported. Specify the pid argument as a character string expression. You can omit the leading zeros.

If you specify a null string (""), the current PID number is used.

You cannot use an asterisk (*) or percent sign (%) wildcard character to specify the pid argument in the F$GETJPI function, as you can with the $GETJPI system service. To get a list of process identification numbers, use the F$PID function.

item

Indicates the type of process information to be returned. Specify the item argument as a character string expression. You can specify any one of the items listed in Table DCLI-7.

Description

The F$GETJPI lexical function invokes the $GETJPI system service to return information about the specified process. The function returns information on all items that can be specified with the $GETJPI system service. For more information on the $GETJPI system service, refer to the HP OpenVMS System Services Reference Manual.

The F$GETJPI lexical function returns a zero or a null string if the target process is in a suspended or MWAIT (resource wait) state and the item requested is stored in the virtual address space of the process.

You can use the F$GETJPI lexical function to find out whether a process automatically unshelves files.

When you specify the STS2 item code, F$GETJPI returns a 32--bit numeric value. When you convert this numeric value to binary format, the digit at symbolic bit position PCB$V_NOUNSHELVE shows you the process unshelving default. If the bit is 1, automatic unshelving is turned off; if 0, automatic unshelving is turned on.

Table DCLI-7 lists the items you can specify with the F$GETJPI function, the information returned, and the data type of this information.
