Export VMS print queues
Alternatively, does VMS create an ASCII readible file with "INIT/QUE queuename" command strings with all parameters intact?
The least desirable solution would be to craft the INIT/QUE commands from SHOW QUE/ALL output.

Re: Export VMS print queues
The least desirable solution is probably the best and easiest: a procedure taking the current queues, and producing a command-file of all the INIT commands to recreate the queues.
One such procedure was on the freeware V6 (or newer ones ?) FIXQUE.COM or FIX_QUEUE.COM.
After running @FIXQUE, just edit the resulting
FIXQUE_RELOAD.COM file, change the node-names to the new one, remove eventually unwanted queues to keep only the print queues.

Re: Export VMS print queues
I usually use the DCL procedures published in http://h18000.www1.hp.com/support/asktima/operating_systems/0095D437-BBF6EF20-1C0097.html to create a DCL procedure that can recreate the queue database.
HTH,
Martin

Re: Export VMS print queues
But the procedure Martin mentions is more elegant anyway.

Re: Export VMS print queues
I always try to keep an init/que command procedure just to recreate the queues in those instances.

Re: Export VMS print queues
Exporting queues from one node to another is not done without problems......
If a queue has /FORM=DEFAULT=MY_SPECIAL_FORM then you need to export all FORMS too and if the form has a setupmodule, then you need the library.....
If you have LPD enabled and use LPD-queues, you need to export the printcap-file.....
And you need to update the startupfiles with the queue-definitions.
Your queues can have a lot of dependencies......
I hope you get my point(s).
I work a lot with queues.

Re: Export VMS print queues
the procedures at the link I posted can be used to generate statements to create characteristics, forms, queues, and jobs.
You're right, of course, about print library modules and printcap files.

Martin

Re: Export VMS print queues
If Dale has a lot of queues with different symbionts and forms with setupmoduls then it could be more than just a walk in the park......
We need to know more about the queue-environment before we could give a "good" advice.
$ SHOW QUE/FULL
$ SHOW QUE/FORM/FULL
give us the information we need to answer the question "Is there a simple way to export all print queues..."
