OUTPUT_QUEUE_ENTRIES enhancement

With OUTPUT_QUEUE_ENTRIES, we have SIZE and PAGES however we don't have RECORDS which would correspond to the MAXRCDS setting on the CRTPRTF and CHGPRTF commands. Can a RECORDS column value be added to the View & UDTF?


Use Case:

Select * from QSYS2.OUTPUT_QUEUE_ENTRIES
Where RECORDS > 99999999;

To determine how many print files require MAXRCDS(*NOMAX) before an OS upgrade which means their record count has gone beyond the command limit of 99,999,999.

    This enhancement was delivered in December 2022 with IBM i 7.5 PTF Group level 3 and IBM i 7.4 PTF Group level 23.

    The OUTPUT_QUEUE_ENTRIES view and OUTPUT_QUEUE_ENTRIES table function have been enhanced. New columns that return TOTAL_RECORDS and MAXIMUM_RECORDS have been added, along with a USER_DEFINED_DATA column.

    The documentation for these services are located at these links:
