RXQUEUE.EXE
The purpose of the RXQUEUE filter is to copy the output of an OS/2 program into a REXX queue (The RXQUEUE filter is the external program RXQUEUE.EXE - not the built-in function <RXQUEUE!)
The syntax for RXQUEUE filter is:
>>--RXQUEUE--+-----------+--+--------+------><
+-queuename-+ +-/FIFO--+
+-/LIFO--+
+-/CLEAR-+
The RXQUEUE filter usually operates on the default queue named "SESSION". However, if an environment variable named "RXQUEUE" exists, the RXQUEUE value is used for the queue name.
Parameters
- queuename
- This is the name of the queue to use. The queue must already exist. The name of a queue can only contain the following characters: 'A'...'Z', '0'...'9', '.', '!', '?' and '_'. Lowercase letters are converted to uppercase letters.
- /LIFO
- Stacks items from STDIN last in, first out (LIFO) on a REXX queue.
- /FIFO
- Queues items from STDIN first in, first out (FIFO) on a REXX queue.
- /CLEAR
- Removes all lines from a REXX queue.
Note: Again, do not confuse the RXQUEUE filter with the <RXQUEUE built-in function! Note further that you cannot use the RXQUEUE filter to write a REXX queue to STDOUT - you've to write a REXX program to do this task. (see Write the REXX Queue to STDOUT for an example).
