Prompts

Form Queue -

TCL syntax

SP-FQDELETE form-queue

Prompt/Syntax elements

form-queue (Form Queue -)
is the name of the formqueue you want to delete.

Restrictions

You cannot delete a formqueue while a job is being despooled from it.

Comments

If you delete a formqueue while print jobs are queued, the print jobs in the queue are not deleted and are still displayed on the Print Jobs screen showing a null Queue Name. They can still be manipulated using many of the SP-JOBS Action Codes by specifying their job-ids. For example, you can move them to a named formqueue using Action Code 2 'Switch One Job'.

You can if you want re-create the previously deleted formqueue name using SP-STATUS Action Code 1 and switch the jobs back to it.

Example

To delete the formqueue called PARTS you can either use the full syntax and enter:

SP-FQDELETE PARTS

or you can use SP-STATUS Action Code 7. Enter:

SP-STATUS

then select Action Code 7 at the Form Queue Status screen prompt:

Enter Action Code / Page Number (P#)?7

Finally, enter the name of the queue to be deleted.
