Examples
WRKPRTSTS FILE(MYFILE)
This command assumes that the user has a spooled file on an output queue that does not have a printer attached to it. When the user specifies this command, the Work with Printing Status panel will be shown. One status message that would apply to the file named MYFILE would be, "This file is not associated with a started printer." Depending on the status of MYFILE, other status types could be shown.
