VMS Help RTL Routines, PPL$, PPL$CREATE_WORK_QUEUE  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

    The Create a Work Queue routine creates and initializes a work
    queue and returns the work queue identifier.

    Format

      PPL$CREATE_WORK_QUEUE  queue-id [,queue-name]

1 - Arguments

 queue-id

    OpenVMS usage identifier
    type          longword (unsigned)
    access        write only
    mechanism     by reference
    The work queue identifier. The queue-id argument is the address
    of an unsigned longword containing the identifier. Queue-id must
    be used in calls to the other work queue routines to identify the
    work queue.

 queue-name

    OpenVMS usage char_string
    type          character string
    access        read only
    mechanism     by descriptor
    Name of the work queue. The optional queue-name argument is the
    address of a descriptor pointing to a character string containing
    the work queue name. The work queue name is case sensitive. If
    you do not specify this argument, or if you specify 0, an unnamed
    work queue is created. An arbitrary number of unnamed work queues
    may be created by a given application.
