The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Deleting Output Queues (DLTOUTQ)

Asked by MRGCD-IS in Programming for iSeries / AS400

Tags: , ,

I have a bunch of output queues in the system that are not used and just clutter up the view when I go into 'WRKOUTQ' and so I would like to delete them.  When I go into 'DLTOUTQ' I enter all the parameters and it errors out with the message: "Operation not allowed for output queue."  Upon researching I found there are some restrictions with deleting output queues:

Restrictions:

1. The output queue being deleted cannot contain any entries: the output for each file must be printed, deleted, or moved to a different output queue.  (Okay, queues I'm trying to delete are empty.)

2. A subsystem cannot be active.  (Does this mean QUSRSYS?  How can I make it inactive?)

3. The queue cannot be in use by a spooling writer.  (Okay, it's not - I don't think!)

4. The queue cannot be deleted if it has been created by the system for a specific printer.  (Pretty sure past admins and I created these queues that I'm trying to delete.)

So my questions are what does "a subsystem cannot be active" and "the queue cannot be in use by a spooling writer" mean?  How can I check on these states and/or modify them to allow me to accomplish my task?

Thanks!
