QUI$_FILE_SETUP_MODULES

Returns, as a comma-separated list, the names of the text modules that are to be extracted from the device control library and copied to the printer before the specified file is printed. Because a text module name can include up to 31 characters and is separated from the previous text module name with a comma, the buffer length field of the item descriptor should specify 32 (bytes) for each possible text module. This item code is meaningful only for output execution queues.

(Valid for QUI$_DISPLAY_FILE function code)

QUI$_FILE_SPECIFICATION

Returns the fully qualified OpenVMS RMS file specification of the file about which $GETQUI is returning information. Because a file specification can include up to 255 characters, the buffer length field of the item descriptor should specify 255 (bytes).

Note

The file specification is the result of an RMS file-passing operation that occurs at the time you submit the job. If you renamed the file or created the job as a result of copying a file to a spooled device, then you cannot use this file specification to access the file through RMS. You use QUI$_FILE_IDENTIFICATION to obtain a unique identifier for the file.

(Valid for QUI$_DISPLAY_FILE function code)

QUI$_FILE_STATUS
