[comp.os.vms] SUBMIT/PRINT and the DCL command tables

still@usceast.UUCP (Bert Still) (05/15/88)

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.
	Many thanks in advance,
