The condition values returned by $GETQUI in the I/O status block are condition values from the JBC facility, which are defined by the $JBCMSGDEF macro. The condition values returned from the JBC facility are listed in the section Condition Values Returned in the I/O Status Block section.
Though this argument is optional, Compaq strongly recommends that you specify it, for the following reasons:
| OpenVMS usage: | ast_procedure |
| type: | procedure value |
| access: | call without stack unwinding |
| mechanism: | by reference |
If specified, the AST routine executes at the same access mode as the caller of $GETQUI.
| OpenVMS usage: | user_parm |
| type: | longword (unsigned) |
| access: | read only |
| mechanism: | by value |
QUI$_CANCEL_OPERATION
This request terminates a wildcard operation that might have been initiated by a previous call to $GETQUI by releasing the $GETQUI context block (GQC) associated with the specified context stream.A specific context stream can be selected and other streams are unaffected.
QUI$_DISPLAY_CHARACTERISTIC
This request returns information about a specific characteristic definition, or the next characteristic definition in a wildcard operation.A successful QUI$_DISPLAY_CHARACTERISTIC wildcard operation terminates when the $GETQUI service has returned information about all characteristic definitions included in the wildcard sequence. The $GETQUI service indicates termination of this sequence by returning the condition value JBC$_NOMORECHAR in the I/O status block. If the $GETQUI service does not find any characteristic definitions, it returns the condition value JBC$_NOSUCHCHAR in the I/O status block.
For more information on how to request information about characteristics, see the Description section.
You must specify one of the following input value item codes; you can specify both:
- QUI$_SEARCH_NAME
- QUI$_SEARCH_NUMBER
You can specify the following input value item code:
- QUI$_SEARCH_FLAGS
You can specify the following output value item codes:
- QUI$_CHARACTERISTIC_NAME
- QUI$_CHARACTERISTIC_NUMBER
QUI$_DISPLAY_ENTRY
This request returns information about a specific job entry, or the next job entry that matches the selection criteria in a wildcard operation. You use the QUI$_SEARCH_NUMBER item code to specify the job entry number.In wildcard mode, the QUI$_DISPLAY_ENTRY operation also establishes a job context for subsequent QUI$_DISPLAY_FILE operations. The job context established remains in effect until you make another call to the $GETQUI service that specifies either the QUI$_DISPLAY_ENTRY or QUI$_CANCEL_OPERATION function code.
A successful QUI$_DISPLAY_ENTRY wildcard operation terminates when the $GETQUI service has returned information about all job entries for the specified user (or the current user name if the QUI$_SEARCH_USERNAME item code is not specified). The $GETQUI service signals termination of this sequence by returning the condition value JBC$_NOMOREENT in the I/O status block. If the $GETQUI service does not find a job with the specified entry number, or does not find a job meeting the search criteria, it returns the condition value JBC$_NOSUCHENT in the first longword of the I/O status block.
You can specify the following input value item codes:

QUI$_DISPLAY_FILE
This request returns information about the next file defined for the current job context. You normally make this request as part of a nested wildcard sequence of queue-job-file operations or a nested wildcard sequence of entry-file operations; that is, before you make a call to $GETQUI to request file information, you have already made a call to the $GETQUI service to establish the job context of the job that contains the files in which you are interested.The $GETQUI service signals that it has returned information about all the files defined for the current job context by returning the condition value JBC$_NOMOREFILE in the I/O status block. If the current job context contains no files, $GETQUI returns the condition value JBC$_NOSUCHFILE in the I/O status block.
A batch job can make a call to the $GETQUI service to request information about the command file that is currently executing without first making calls to the service to establish a queue and job context. To do this, the batch job specifies the QUI$V_SEARCH_THIS_JOB option of the QUI$_SEARCH_FLAGS item code. The system does not save the queue or job context established in such a call.
For more information about how to request file information, see the Description section.
You can specify the following input value item code:
- QUI$_SEARCH_FLAGS
You can specify the following output value item codes:
- QUI$_FILE_COPIES

- QUI$_FILE_STATUS
- QUI$_FIRST_PAGE
- QUI$_LAST_PAGE
QUI$_DISPLAY_FORM
This request returns information about a specific form definition, or the next form definition in a wildcard operation.A successful QUI$_DISPLAY_FORM wildcard operation terminates when the $GETQUI service has returned information about all form definitions included in the wildcard sequence. The $GETQUI service signals termination of this wildcard sequence by returning the condition value JBC$_NOMOREFORM in the I/O status block. If the $GETQUI service finds no form definitions, it returns the condition value JBC$_NOSUCHFORM in the I/O status block.
For more information on how to request information about forms, see the Description section.
You must specify one of the following input value item codes. You can specify both:
- QUI$_SEARCH_NAME

QUI$_DISPLAY_JOB
This request returns information about the next job defined for the current queue context. You normally make this request as part of a nested wildcard queue-job sequence of operations; that is, before you make a call to $GETQUI to request job information, you have already made a call to the $GETQUI service to establish the queue context of the queue that contains the job in which you are interested.In wildcard mode, the QUI$_DISPLAY_JOB operation also establishes a job context for subsequent QUI$_DISPLAY_FILE operations. The job context established remains in effect until another call is made to the $GETQUI service that specifies the QUI$_DISPLAY_JOB, QUI$_DISPLAY_QUEUE, or QUI$_CANCEL_OPERATION function code.
The $GETQUI service signals that it has returned information about all the jobs contained in the current queue context by returning the condition value JBC$_NOMOREJOB in the I/O status block. If the current queue context contains no jobs, $GETQUI returns the condition value JBC$_NOSUCHJOB in the first longword of the I/O status block.
A batch job can make a call to the $GETQUI service to request information about itself without first making a call to the service to establish a queue context. To do this, the batch job must specify the QUI$V_SEARCH_THIS_JOB option of the QUI$_SEARCH_FLAGS item code. The system does not save the queue or job context established in such a call.
For more information about how to request job information, see the Description section.

QUI$_FILE_SPECIFICATION
When you specify QUI$_FILE_SPECIFICATION, $GETQUI returns the fully qualified OpenVMS RMS file specification of the file about which $GETQUI is returning information. Because a file specification can include up to 255 characters, the buffer length field of the item descriptor should specify 255 (bytes).
Note
The file specification is the result of an RMS file-passing operation that occurs at the time you submit the job. If you renamed the file or created the job as a result of copying a file to a spooled device, then you cannot use this file specification to access the file through RMS. You use QUI$_FILE_IDENTIFICATION to obtain a unique identifier for the file.(Valid for QUI$_DISPLAY_FILE function code)
