The $QUIDEF macro defines the following symbolic names:
Symbolic Name Description
QUI$V_JOB_CPU_LIMIT CPU time limit for the job.
QUI$V_JOB_ERROR_RETENTION The user requested that the job be retained in the queue, if the job completes unsuccessfully. If the queue is set to retain all jobs because the QUI$V_QUEUE_RETAIN_ALL bit of the QUI$_QUEUE_FLAGS item code is set, the job might be held in the queue even if it completes successfully.

For more information about user-specified job retention, see the /RETAIN qualifier for the PRINT or SUBMIT command in the HP OpenVMS DCL Dictionary.

QUI$V_JOB_HOLDING Job will be held until it is explicitly released.
QUI$V_JOB_INACCESSIBLE Caller does not have read access to the specific job and file information in the system queue file. Therefore, the QUI$_DISPLAY_JOB and QUI$_DISPLAY_FILE operations can return information for only the following output value item codes:
QUI$_AFTER_TIME
QUI$_COMPLETED_BLOCKS
QUI$_ENTRY_NUMBER
QUI$_INTEVENING_BLOCKS
QUI$_INTEVENING_JOBS
QUI$_JOB_SIZE
QUI$_JOB_STATUS

The library specification assumes the device and directory name SYS$LIBRARY and a file type of .TLB. Because a file name can include up to 39 characters, the buffer length field of the item descriptor should specify 39 (bytes). This item code is meaningful only for output execution queues.

(Valid for QUI$_DISPLAY_QUEUE function code)

QUI$_LOG_QUEUE

Returns, as a character string, the name of the queue into which the log file produced for the specified batch job is to be entered for printing. This item code is applicable only to batch jobs. Because a queue name can contain up to 31 characters, the buffer length field of the item descriptor should specify 31 (bytes).

(Valid for QUI$_DISPLAY_ENTRY, QUI$_DISPLAY_JOB function codes)

QUI$_LOG_SPECIFICATION

Returns, as an OpenVMS RMS file specification, the name of the log file to be produced for the specified job. Because a file specification can include up to 255 characters, the buffer length field of the item descriptor should specify 255 (bytes). This item code is meaningful only for batch jobs.

The string returned is the log file specification that was provided to the $SNDJBC service to create the job. Therefore, to determine whether a log file is to be produced, testing this item code for a zero-length string is insufficient; instead, you need to examine the QUI$V_JOB_LOG_NULL bit of the QUI$_JOB_FLAGS item code.

(Valid for QUI$_DISPLAY_ENTRY, QUI$_DISPLAY_JOB function codes)

QUI$_MANAGER_NAME

(Valid for QUI$_DISPLAY_QUEUE function code)

QUI$_PAGE_SETUP_MODULES

Returns, as a comma-separated list, the names of the text modules to be extracted from the device control library and copied to the printer before each page of the specified form is printed. Because a text module name can include up to 31 characters and is separated from the previous text module name by a comma, the buffer length field of the item descriptor should specify 32 (bytes) for each possible text module.

(Valid for QUI$_DISPLAY_QUEUE function code)

QUI$_PENDING_JOB_REASON

Returns, as a longword bit vector, the reason that the job is in a pending state. The $QUIDEF macro defines the following symbolic names for the flags:
Symbolic Name Description

QUI$V_PEND_STOCK_MISMATCH Stock type required by the job's form does not match the stock type of the form mounted on the execution queue.

(Valid for QUI$_DISPLAY_ENTRY, QUI$_DISPLAY_JOB function codes)

QUI$_PRIORITY

Returns the scheduling priority of the specified job, which is a longword integer value in the range 0 through 255.

Scheduling priority affects the order in which jobs assigned to a queue are initiated; it has no effect on the base execution priority of a job. The lowest scheduling priority value is 0, the highest is 255; that is, if a queue contains a job with a scheduling priority of 10 and a job with a scheduling priority of 2, the queue manager initiates the job with the scheduling priority of 10 first.

(Valid for QUI$_DISPLAY_ENTRY, QUI$_DISPLAY_JOB function codes)

QUI$_PROCESSOR

Returns, as an OpenVMS RMS file name component, the name of the symbiont image that executes print jobs initiated from the specified queue. The file name assumes the device and directory name SYS$SYSTEM and the file type .EXE. Because an RMS file name can include up to 39 characters, the buffer length field of the item descriptor should specify 39 (bytes).

(Valid for QUI$_DISPLAY_ENTRY, QUI$_DISPLAY_QUEUE function codes)

QUI$_PROTECTION

When you specify QUI$_PROTECTION, $GETQUI returns, as a word, the specified queue's protection mask.

The following diagram illustrates the protection mask:

Bits 0 through 15 specify the protection value---the four types of access (read, submit, manage, and delete) to be granted to the four classes of user (System, Owner, Group, World). Set bits deny access and clear bits allow access.

(Valid for QUI$_DISPLAY_QUEUE function code)

QUI$_QUEUE_DESCRIPTION

(Valid for QUI$_DISPLAY_QUEUE function code)

QUI$_QUEUE_DIRECTORY

Returns a string containing the device and directory specification of the queue database directory for this queue manager.

(Valid for QUI$_DISPLAY_MANAGER function code)

QUI$_QUEUE_FLAGS

Returns, as a longword bit vector, the processing options that have been selected for the specified queue. Each processing option is represented by a bit. When $GETQUI sets a bit, the jobs initiated from the queue are processed according to the corresponding processing option. Each bit in the vector has a symbolic name.

The $QUIDEF macro defines the following symbolic names:
