 function

    Specifies the action that the F$GETQUI lexical function is to
    perform. F$GETQUI supports all functions that can be specified
    with the $GETQUI system service. The following table lists these
    functions:

    Function              Description

    CANCEL_OPERATION      Terminates any wildcard operation that may
                          have been initiated by a previous call to
                          F$GETQUI.

    DISPLAY_              Returns information about a specific
    CHARACTERISTIC        characteristic definition or the next
                          characteristic definition in a wildcard
                          operation.

    DISPLAY_ENTRY         Returns information about a specific job
                          entry or the next job entry that matches
                          the selection criteria in a wildcard
                          operation. The DISPLAY_ENTRY function code
                          is similar to the DISPLAY_JOB function
                          code in that both return job information.
                          DISPLAY_JOB, however, requires that a
                          call be made to establish queue context;
                          DISPLAY_ENTRY does not require that queue
                          context be established. Only those entries
                          that match the user-name of the current
                          process will be processed.

    DISPLAY_FILE          Returns information about the next file
                          defined for the current job context. Before
                          you make a call to F$GETQUI to request
                          file information, you must make a call to
                          display queue and job information (with
                          the DISPLAY_QUEUE and DISPLAY_JOB function
                          codes) or to display entry information
                          (with the DISPLAY_ENTRY function code).

    DISPLAY_FORM          Returns information about a specific form
                          definition or the next form definition in a
                          wildcard operation.

    DISPLAY_JOB           Returns information about the next job
                          defined for the current queue context.
                          Before you make a call to F$GETQUI to
                          request job information, you must make a
                          call to display queue information (with
                          the DISPLAY_QUEUE function code). The
                          DISPLAY_JOB function code is similar to
                          the DISPLAY_ENTRY function code in that
                          both return job information. DISPLAY_JOB,
                          however, requires that a call be made to
                          establish queue context; DISPLAY_ENTRY
                          does not require that queue context be
                          established.

    DISPLAY_MANAGER       Returns information about a specific queue
                          manager or the next queue manager in a
                          wildcard operation.

    DISPLAY_QUEUE         Returns information about a specific queue
                          definition or the next queue definition in
                          a wildcard operation.

    TRANSLATE_QUEUE       Translates a logical name for a queue to
                          the equivalence name for the queue.

    Some function arguments cannot be specified with the item-
    code, the object-id, or the flags argument. The following table
    lists each function argument and corresponding format line to
    show whether the item-code, object-id, and flags arguments
    are required, optional, or not applicable for that specific
    function. In the following format lines, brackets ([ ])  denote
    an optional argument. An omitted argument means the argument is
    not applicable for that function. Note that two commas (,,)  must
    be used as placeholders to denote an omitted (whether optional or
    not applicable) argument.

 item

    Corresponds to a $GETQUI system service output item code. The
    item argument specifies the kind of information you want returned
    about a particular queue, job, file, form, or characteristic. On
    VAX, queue manager information is also available.

 object-id

    Corresponds to the $GETQUI system service QUI$SEARCH_NAME, QUI$_
    SEARCH_NUMBER, and QUI$_SEARCH_JOB_NAME input item codes. The
    object-id argument specifies either the name or the number of
    an object (for example, a specific queue name, job name, or
    form number) about which F$GETQUI is to return information. The
    asterisk (*) and the percent sign (%) wildcard characters are
    allowed for the following functions:

       DISPLAY_CHARACTERISTIC
       DISPLAY_ENTRY
       DISPLAY_FORM
       DISPLAY_MANAGER
       DISPLAY_QUEUE

    By specifying an asterisk (*)  or percent sign (%) wildcard
    character as the object-id argument on successive calls, you
    can get status information about one or more jobs in a specific
    queue or about files within jobs in a specific queue. When a name
    is used with wildcard characters, each call returns information
    for the next object (queue, form, and so on) in the list. A null
    string ("")  is returned when the end of the list is reached. A
    wildcard can represent only object names, not object numbers.

 flags

    Specifies a list of keywords, separated by commas, that
    corresponds to the flags defined for the $GETQUI system service
    QUI$_SEARCH_FLAGS input item code. (These flags are used to
    define the scope of the object search specified in the call to
    the $GETQUI system service.) Note that keywords in the following
    table can be used only with certain function codes.

                     Valid Function
    Keyword          Code                Description

    ALL_JOBS         DISPLAY_JOB         Requests that F$GETQUI
                                         search all jobs included
                                         in the established queue
                                         context. If you do not
                                         specify this flag, F$GETQUI
                                         returns information only
                                         about jobs that have the
                                         same user name as the
                                         caller.

    BATCH            DISPLAY_QUEUE       Selects batch queues.
                     DISPLAY_ENTRY

    EXECUTING_JOBS   DISPLAY_ENTRY       Selects executing jobs.
                     DISPLAY_JOB

    FREEZE_CONTEXT   DISPLAY_            When in wildcard mode,
                     CHARACTERISTIC      prevents advance of wildcard
                     DISPLAY_ENTRY       context to the next object.
                     DISPLAY_FILE        If you do not specify
                     DISPLAY_FORM        this flag, the context is
                     DISPLAY_JOB         advanced to the next object.
                     DISPLAY_MANAGER
                     DISPLAY_QUEUE

    GENERIC          DISPLAY_ENTRY       Selects generic queues for
                     DISPLAY_QUEUE       searching.

    HOLDING_JOBS     DISPLAY_ENTRY       Selects jobs on
                     DISPLAY_JOB         unconditional hold.

    PENDING_JOBS     DISPLAY_ENTRY       Selects pending jobs.
                     DISPLAY_JOB

    PRINTER          DISPLAY_QUEUE       Selects printer queues.
                     DISPLAY_ENTRY

    RETAINED_JOBS    DISPLAY_ENTRY       Selects jobs being retained.
                     DISPLAY_JOB

    SERVER           DISPLAY_QUEUE       Selects server queues.
                     DISPLAY_ENTRY

    SYMBIONT         DISPLAY_QUEUE       Selects all output queues.
                     DISPLAY_ENTRY       Equivalent to specifying
                                         "PRINTER,SERVER,TERMINAL".

    TERMINAL         DISPLAY_QUEUE       Selects terminal queues.
                     DISPLAY_ENTRY

    THIS_JOB         DISPLAY_FILE        Selects all job file
                     DISPLAY_JOB         information about the
                     DISPLAY_QUEUE       calling batch job, the
                                         command file being executed,
                                         or the queue associated with
                                         the calling batch job.

    TIMED_RELEASE_   DISPLAY_ENTRY       Selects jobs on hold until a
    JOBS             DISPLAY_JOB         specified time.

    WILDCARD         DISPLAY_            Establishes and saves a
                     CHARACTERISTIC      context. Because the context
                     DISPLAY_ENTRY       is saved, the next operation
                     DISPLAY_FORM        can be performed based on
                     DISPLAY_MANAGER     that context.
