Hello

You will use the lexical f$getqui, see

$ help lex f$getqui

You can find many examples on dcl.openvms.org, see

Attached is a code snippet from a routine which
- checks if specified queue is valid batchqueue
- checks if job is already subbmitted
- compares file_id, to check if newer version exists and resubmit

This should give you an idea how to solve your problem.

P.S. the code is quite old and was not created to win a beauty contest...
