The NPF queue manager has purged a record from the queue file for one of the following reasons:

• RETAIN(S) retain time expired after a successful transmission.
• RETAIN(U) retain time expired after all retries were exhausted for an unsuccessful transmission.
• A record was marked for deletion by the NPF panel operator.
• The end-of-set (state=X) record was found to be the only remaining record for a multi-destination routing.

The NPF queue manager might also have deleted the print data set specified by the purged queue file record:

• For a single-destination routing, the print data set is deleted when the one queue file record for that routing is purged.
• For a multi-destination routing, the print data set must be retained until all the queue file records for that routing can be processed. Only when the last of these queue file records is purged is the print data set deleted.

Fields in the message are as follows:

yy/ddd hh:mm:ss

Julian date and time.

printqueue

The print queue name (truncated to 10 bytes, if necessary), or blank (for rcdstate=X only).

host

The TCPIP host name or IP address (truncated to 30 bytes, if necessary), or blank (for rcdstate=X only).

rcdstate

The state of the queue file record at the time it was purged:

• T - successfully transmitted
• U or R- unsuccessful
• D - deletion requested by operator
• X - end-of-set record for a multi-destination routing

DEL indicates that the queue file record has been deleted.

datasetaction

RET (retain) or DEL (delete) indicates whether the corresponding print data set has been kept or deleted.
