Fortran and System Services? ($getqui)

» close window

The Question is:

 
I need to call a system services routine, or some call that interrogates a
 batch que from Fortran.  I have the job name.  I need the entry number to
 delete the job, which has been retained on error.  Is there a system services
 call that I can do from with
in Fortran to check my que?  Thanks,  Terry
 
 

The Answer is :

 
  Please review the OpenVMS Programming Concepts documentation
  and please skim the system service reference manual, and
  please read the available language documentation.  Pointers
  to these materials are in the OpenVMS FAQ.
 
  In this case, the system service call is sys$getquiw.
 
  Numerous examples of calls to system services are available
  in the support database (see the AskQ pointer in the FAQ)
  and there are various examples here.  Examples specific to
  calling system services in Fortran are included in the
  available Fortran documentation, as are examples of calling
  system services from other languages are included in the
  language-specific documentation.
 
  In particular, OpenVMS system service calls are similar.
  Once you know how to call several of the core services,
  most any service can be prototyped and called.  Put
  another way, you can easily use examples ofdiffering
  services, once you are familiar with the basics of the
  language-specific argument passing -- and examples and
  documentation of the argument passing mechanisms are
  included in the documentation of every OpenVMS language.
 
  There are a number of DCL and related examples here in the
  Ask The Wizard area, please search for topics with getqui
  in the title or getqui or queue or related terms within
  the text.
