Sample
This sample code will delete the queue name that is entered at the prompt.
#define INCL_SPL
#define INCL_SPLERRORS
#include <os2.h>
#include <stdio.h> /* for printf function */
INT main (argc, argv)
INT argc;
CHAR *argv[];
{
SPLERR splerr ;
PSZ pszComputerName = NULL ;
PSZ pszQueueName ;
/* Get queue name from the input argument */
pszQueueName = argv[1];
/* Call the function to do the delete. If an error is returned, print it.
*/
splerr=SplDeleteQueue(pszComputerName, pszQueueName);
if (splerr != 0L)
{
switch (splerr)
{
case NERR_QNotFound :
printf("Queue does not exist.\n");
break;
case NERR_QInvalidState:
printf("This operation can't be performed on the print queue.\n");
break;
default:
printf("Errorcode = %ld\n",splerr);
} /* endswitch */
}
else
{
printf("Queue %s was deleted.\n",pszQueueName);
} /* endif */
DosExit( EXIT_PROCESS , 0 ) ;
return (splerr);
}
Call Sequence
#define INCL_SPL /* Or use INCL_PM, */ #include <os2.h> PSZ pszComputerName; /* Name of computer where queue is to be deleted. */ PSZ pszQueueName; /* Queue name. */ SPLERR rc; /* Return code. */ rc = SplDeleteQueue(pszComputerName, pszQueueName);
Remarks
If there are print jobs in the queue, SplDeleteQueue marks the queue PRQ3_PENDING. No further jobs can then be added to the queue, which is deleted when all jobs are printed. A queue marked PRQ3_PENDING can be held, and jobs in the queue can be held, restarted, and repeated.
If a queue is held and there are jobs on the queue, a SplDeleteQueue function fails with NERR_QInvalidState (2163).
To delete a queue on a remote server requires administrator privilege on the remote server.
