2483.0. "wppsystem.scp and #PRINT_QUEUE" by ANGLIN::HARRIS (Let the party begin...) Fri Mar 26 1993 20:11

    ALl-IN-1 3.0  VMS 5.4-3
    
    i have  customization that allows the user to printVMS files from
    ALl-IN-1.  the custom script prompts the user for file name. the script
    defines #PRINT_QUEUE to be  SMPRINTERS.SP_QUEUE[#PRINT_PRINTER]
    
    for the actual printing WPPSYSTEM is called. #PRINT_QUEUE is redefined
    as                                            
       get #PRINT_QUEUE = QUI$TRANSLATE.QUEUE_NAME[#PRINT_QUEUE]
    
    when i try to use the custom printing, i keeping getting the error
    
    	#PRINT_QUEUE is not recognized or not defined
    
    
    It all works in V2.4.  In 2.4 WPPSYSTEM has 
        get OA$FUNCTION = "get #PRINT_TEMP = LOG$" #PRINT_QUEUE
        .if #PRINT_TEMP nes "" then get #PRINT_QUEUE = #PRINT_TEMP
    
    thanks - ann
    
    

    Ann,
    
    Is everything defined correctly?  smprinter, the logical at dcl level,
    etc..
    
    I tried the two examples on a v3.0 system and found no  problem.

    Tim -
    
    i can't seem to find a logical for smprinter(on either 2.4 or 3.0
    systems).  i have the form SMPRINTER in 3.0, but no logical.

Ann,

Where is #PRINT_PRINTER being set up?  Perhaps you could post a log of this 
running.

re .1  SMPRINTER has not been used since V2.3.  The form is now called 
SMPRINTERS.  It does need any logical set up to use it (as implied in .1)

    Ann,
    
    I meant (sometimes my hands and mind are never hooked-up) to check
    the value in the smprinters data set then check for logicals defined
    on the system at the dcl level.
