I dialed into a user I support and grabbed this from a program I wrote a
few years back.  They are at V3R1.

Here are the changes for an indexed data queue:

        and:

Fields DQJOB, DQUSR let me know who and from which workstation submitted
the entry.  (a timestamp would have been nice, hint..hint..) The
variables QKEYL and QKEY are there because the program I wrote used an
indexed data queue to print the entries in account number order.  I
wrote this a couple of years ago but I recall having problems receiving
the sender data in a straight FIFO sequenced queue.  I do know that you
can set the key value before doing the CALL and think of it as the same
as a SETLL.

I'm freehand typing this so the positions are not correct. best viewed
at fixed pitch font.

TAATOOLS contains commands for retreiving a data queue description and
displaying the contents of a data queue.  Real handy for testing.

Possibly someone else has an example of a FIFO queue with sender
information.
