RE: MQPUT and MQGET API

Michael,

Thanks but I can't do that, because buffer has not a fixed structure. The part 
I want to modify can be on position 15 one time and next time on position 16.

Regards.
JC

Jean Claude,

The simplest approach would be to "map" the MQ buffer from MQGET to a data 
structure
containing your defined subfields.  You would then use this modified DS on your 
MQPUT.

BTW:

As a general rule, it isn't a good idea to pass packed fields in an MQ buffer as
MQ won't know how to perform data translation.  Obviously this isn't a problem 
between
AS/400's but use caution when moving these types of messages between (or 
through) other
platforms.

So I've started to write my first RPG/400 program on wednesday. I'm very glad 
because I'm still able to read a queue and to print some messages. However I 
have a little problem which can be resolved by any of you, I'm sure. I have a 
buffer which contains the message and I would like to overwrite a part of this 
buffer. But on program start, I don't even know were this part is. I find it by 
using SUBST. So I have the buffer and a pointer to the part in packed format.

Best Regards.

The sample code is very helpful.  About 6 months ago I had to write an
entire, fairly complex communication system with the US Customs Service
using MQ.  I knew nothing about MQ.  Using the sample code, a post or 2 here
and Google I was able to write a rock solid comm system.  We are very
pleased with the way it works.

Hi Michael,

My program is very simple : MQGET a non-synchronous message from a queue,
post some data on this message and MQPUT this message to the next recipient.
I have found IBM samples and with Carsten's utility, I hope I'll be able to
write my first RPG program.

Thank you all.
Best Regards.
JC Mittelheisser

Jean Claude,

Generating and/or receiving MQ messages is the simple part.  If you are
attempting to integrate your AS/400 with your other Distributed MQ platforms
may be more complex then simply putting and/or getting messages.

For example, are the messages expecting replies? Do they use synchronous or
asynchrounous "dialogue"?  If replies are expected, how are they reconciled
with requests (msgId or CorrelId)?  What should happen to the messages in
queue when the Queue Manager is stopped (i.e during IPL or maintenance)?

My apologies if I appear to be "over engineering" but when (if) integrating
MQ messages in a disparate environment such as yours, it is typically
necessary (i.e. recommended) that participating applications, be they RPG,
C, COBOL or JAVA, understand the respective life cycle and model of
underlying messages.

That said, as michaelr_41 suggests, the IBM-supplied examples provide an
excellent starting point for learning/understanding the functionality of
MQSeries.  While I have never seen Carsten's utility, I'm confident, given
his contributions to the AS/400 community, it also provides an excellent
starting point for your MQ indoctrination.

Respectfully,

Michael Rooney

Hello,

We have several systems like OS/390, AIX, Windows and OS/400 in our company.
Most of them communicate through MQ Series. We have also a software which
tests if these communications are OK by sending a message which is forwarded
over our network from a machine to another. Each machine reads this message
and sends it to the next. In case of a problem, sending stops and we know
were the problem resides. We would like to include OS/400 in this testing
but we have no real RPG competence to create programs in our company. So we
would like to know if someone has developed around MQ Series to create
perhaps a MQPUT and a MQGET command on OS/400, in any case a simple way to
read and put messages on MQ Series queues.

Thank You.
Best Regards.
