<p><b>New page</b></p><div>DISPLAY_CHARACTERISTIC is an operation that can be specified in the function field of the [[F$GETQUI()]] lexical function. It returns information about a specific characteristic definition or the next characteristic definition in a wildcard operation. A characteristic is any attribute of a print or batch job that is relevant to your environment. For example, characteristics for a printer could refer to the color of the ink, the type of paper, or the location of the printer. Characteristics are created with DEFINE/CHARACTERISTIC, assigned to queues with SET QUEUE/CHARACTERISTIC and to jobs with PRINT/CHARACTERISTIC.<br />
<br />
=Syntax=<br />
F$GETQUI("DISPLAY_CHARACTERISTIC", <nowiki>[</nowiki>[[#Item|item]]<nowiki>]</nowiki>,[[#Object Id|object-id]],<nowiki>[</nowiki>[[#Flags|flags]]<nowiki>]</nowiki>)<br />
<br />
==Item==<br />
Corresponds to a [[$GETQUI output item codes|$GETQUI system service output item code]]. The item argument specifies the kind of information you want returned about a particular queue, job, file, form, or characteristic.<br />
<br />
==Object Id==<br />
Corresponds to the $GETQUI system service QUI$SEARCH_NAME, QUI$_SEARCH_NUMBER, and QUI$_SEARCH_JOB_NAME input item codes. The object-id argument specifies either the name or the number of an object (for example, a specific queue name, job name, or form number) about which F$GETQUI is to return information. The asterisk (*) and the percent sign (%) wildcard characters are allowed.<br />
<br />
==Flags==<br />
Flags allowed for DISPLAY_CHARACTERISTIC:<br />
* FREEZE_CONTEXT: when in wildcard mode, prevents advance of wildcard context to the next object. If you do not specify this flag, the context is advanced to the next object.<br />
* WILDCARD: establishes and saves a context. Because the context is saved, the next operation can be performed based on that context.<br />
