434.0. "PQM and DQS bug?" by SWETSC::WESTERBACK (Panta rei) Sun Apr 13 1997 22:42

    There seems to be a bug in the handling of DQS queues in PQM, or have
    I missed something?
    
    When PQM_STARTUP executes PQM_DQS_QUEUES.COM, I see the message 
    
    %DQS-F-QUEFOUND Queue NKP002LN already exists 
    
    and PQM goes on to the next queue. It seems to me that of course
    the queue exists, it shouldn't disappear at reboot? The problem
    with this handling is that the system logical DQS$REMOTE_NKP002LN
    is not setup because of this. 
    
    I have modified PQM_DQS_IMPORT.COM to fix this:
    
    $ SHOW QUEUE 'local_queue'
    $ ret_status = $status
    $ IF ret_status .EQ. 'jbc$_nosuchque' THEN GOTO queue_not_found
    $ IF .NOT. (ret_status .AND. 1) THEN GOTO queue_error
    $ WRITE sys$error "%DQS-F-QUEFOUND Queue ", local_queue, " already
    exists"
    
    is changed to
    
    $ SHOW QUEUE 'local_queue'
    $ ret_status = $status
    $ GOTO queue_not_found
    
    
    But is there any reason for this handling, or what?

Ok, it seems that this test doesn't make sense.
I think that we have never tested that since PQM 4.3 . None of users have DQS queues because
the network printers and printservers replaced them a few years ago .

I note your correction

    Well, we still have some remaining DQS printers (LN03's) in smaller 
    offices.
    
    The alternative there would perhaps be to set up an IP queue using
    telnetsym, but then we couldn't use PQM at all!
    
    The fix I described  is OK for me.
