RXQUEUE.EXE: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 14:44, 24 June 2016

Description

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).
