Use of data queues

One example: printing a spool on both sides of the paper

Follow the steps:

1. Create a New dtaq by the following command:
Crtdtaq dtaq (qgpl/zdtaq1) maxlen (64512)

2. Create a outq with the following command:
Crtoutq outq (qgpl/Duplex) dtaq (qgpl/zdtaq1)

3.
Compile the following Cl program after making necessary modifications
To it. (You probably need to change the out queue name in the last Cl
Command chgplfa)

Note 1:
The program needs to be running
All the time in the system. The program doesn't take any CPU resource
As it waits in deqw status until a spool file comes in the outq.

NOTE 2:
You
May want to add the call to this program in the system startup program,
So that it gets executed automatically, after every IPL.

So,
From now on, whenever you need to print the spool file on the both
Sides of a paper, just send the spool file to the outq duplex instead
Of the regular outq (print01 in this case). The output will appear on
Print01 (your actual existing outq) only.

To print regular one-sided spool files simply send the spool files to print01 (your actual existing outq ).
