Job In Msg Wait

Summary

The following are the RPG/LE fully free-form definitions and instructions needed for using the Job In Msg Wait service procedure. This service procedure simply allows the caller to determine if a particular job is in a message wait on the system—or not.

Service Prototype

Place the following in a separate copybook for inclusion in both the caller and the service program source members.

//******************************************************************************
// Determines if a specified job name is in a message wait status on the
// system.  Optionally, returns all job information.
//******************************************************************************
dcl-pr GenUtl_JobInMsgWait   ind;
  pJobName                   char(26);
  pJobInfo                   likeds(QUSI020000)  options(*nopass);
end-pr;

Service Procedure

Place the following in a service program source member.

                         : pJobName: *blank: ApiErrC );
  if ApiErrC.BytAvail > *zero;         // if an error occurred

    return *on;                        // indicate an error
  endif;

  if %parms() > %parmnum(pJobName);    // if job information requested
    pJobInfo = QUSI020000;             // pass it back
  endif;

  return (QUSAJS = 'MSGW');            // indicate msg wait status
