<p>The Retrieve Writer
Information (QSPRWTRI) API retrieves writer information associated with the
specified printer or writer. The information retrieved is similar to what can
be seen when running the Work with Writer (WRKWTR) command for a particular
writer.</p>
<p>Additionally, this API can retrieve information about pending changes to a
particular writer. The fields that could contain possible pending changes
are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Next file separators</li>
<li>Next form type</li>
<li>Next message option</li>
<li>Next output queue library name</li>
<li>Next output queue name</li>
<li>Next separator drawer</li>
</ul>
<p>Changes to these fields result when the Change Writer (CHGWTR) command has
been used. The value specified in the Changes take effect field determines when
the pending changes take place.</p>
<br>
<h3>Authorities and Locks</h3>
<dl>
<dt><em>Output Queue Lock</em></dt>
<dd>*EXCLRD</dd>
</dl>
<br>
<h3>Required Parameter Group</h3>
<dl>
<dt><strong>Receiver variable</strong></dt>
<dd>OUTPUT; CHAR(*)
<p>The receiver variable that receives the information requested. You can
specify the size of the area to be smaller than the format requested as long as
you specify the length parameter correctly. As a result, the API returns only
the data the area can hold.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>Length of receiver variable</strong></dt>
<dd>INPUT; BINARY(4)
<p>The length of the receiver variable. If the length is larger than the size
of the receiver variable, the results are not predictable. The minimum length
is 8 bytes.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>Format name</strong></dt>
<dd>INPUT; CHAR(8)
<p>The content and format of the writer information to be returned.</p>
<p>The following format name can be used:</p>
<table cellpadding="5">
<!-- cols="25 75" -->
<tr>
<td valign="top"><em><a href="#HDRWTR1">WTRI0100</a></em></td>
<td valign="top">Writer information</td>
</tr>
</table>
<br>
</dd>
<dt><strong>Printer name</strong></dt>
<dd>INPUT; CHAR(10)
<p>The name of the printer for which writer information is to be returned. The
following special value is supported for this parameter:</p>
<table cellpadding="5">
<!-- cols="15 85" -->
<tr>
<td align="left" valign="top"><em>*WRITER</em></td>
<td align="left" valign="top">Use the writer name specified on the writer name
parameter to return writer information.</td>
</tr>
</table>
<br>
</dd>
<dt><strong>Error code</strong></dt>
<dd>I/O; CHAR(*)
<p>The structure in which to return error information. For the format of the
structure, see <a href="../apiref/error.htm#hdrerrcod">Error Code Parameter</a>.</p>
</dd>
</dl>
<br>
<h3>Optional Parameter</h3>
<dl>
<dt><strong>Writer name</strong></dt>
<dd>INPUT; CHAR(10)
<p>The name of the writer for which writer information is to be returned. The
value of this parameter must be set to blanks if the printer name parameter is
not set to *WRITER.</p>
</dd>
</dl>
<br>
<h3><a name="HDRWTR1">WTRI0100 Format</a></h3>
<p>The following information is returned for the WTRI0100 format. See <a href=
