Issue/Introduction



We have seen in the IDMS CV many queues with names that begin with RHDCREPT.  What creates these?  We recently saw a great number of these which had to be deleted as they were filling the DDLDCRUN area

Resolution

When a program issues WRITE PRINTER (#PRINT) a RHDCREPTxxxxnnn Queue is created and goes away when the report gets written to the printer it was sent to. 

DCMT D REPORTS should show any queued reports 

If such queues are amassing and not going away, most likely you have applications writing to one or more printers that were offline for some reason. 
Resolve the printer problem and the queued reports will print and the queues will be deleted.

Example:  If I set my printer class to 1, which in my CV is not a class associated with any actual printer,  the reports sent there will simply queue up. 

In my test I did 4 WRITE PRINTER requests while set to this Print class. 

DCMT D REP             
CL/DEST   REPORTS  LINES
 01       00004  0003120


this shows 4 reports queued in Class 1.

The above display shows my 4 queued reports
