Programmatically place outq on hold when empty


OUTQ, CL

Hi, I have been tasked with writing a CL program that will be run every night that releases a held Outq and allows the contents to go through then, put the outq back on hold once there are no more spool files in it. Is there an API or something I can use in a CL program that will check for an empty outq?

Thanks,

Hi,

If you have a writer attached to your OUTQ you could just start the writer with :-

AUTOEND(*YES *NORDYF)

This should stop the writer as soon as there are no spooled files available.
