And now for something completely different... I have several users who like to submit jobs from inside Pascal programs using the OPEN(...,DISPOSITION := SUBMIT) statement. The problem is that there is always a log file printed when they submit a job, because of the /PRINTER qualifier default on the SUBMIT command. As I didn't really want to have the Pascal compiler, I have patched the DCL tables to change the default printer queue used from SYS$PRINT to SYS$NULLQ which, of course, is started on NLA0. ****GROAN!**** Yes, it is a very inelegant, nasty kludge. However, before I get flamed, let me say that I couldn't find a good description of the SUBMIT CLD which was used to generate the entry in the SYS$LIBRARY:DCLTABLES.EXE command table. Does anyone out there have a copy of said entry? I suppose I could look through the microfiche that we have for VMS Version 3, but I suspect that there are enough differences so as to make it useless. Alternately, if some kind soul would like to tell me how to "disassemble" the DCL command table to retrieve the .CLD file, I would be very appreciative.
