Due to the lack of replies I thought I would try that test. Like Chuck
says, just because a test works once doesn't mean that's the gospel and
how it will consistently work.
I ran a program that was simply this:
SNDPGMMSG MSGID(CPF1816) MSGF(QCPFMSG) TOMSGQ(ROB/QUPSMSG)
Then I ran this other program:
DCL &MSGID *CHAR 7
ALCOBJ OBJ((ROB/QUPSMSG *MSGQ *EXCL))
RCVMSG MSGQ(ROB/QUPSMSG) WAIT(100) MSGID(&MSGID) RMV(*NO)
SNDMSG MSG(&MSGID) TOUSR(*REQUESTER)
ENDPGM

and it rapidly displayed CPF1816. Here I am thinking 'all well and good'
right? Wrong.
Run it again and it waits 100 seconds and sends a blank message. So I'm
thinking is there some internal job marker that marks a message as 'read'?
Sign off and sign back on, run the program again. Again it waits 100
seconds and sends blank message.
So now I am thinking it must mark the message 'read' in the message queue.
Which, upon reading the help on RMV(*NO), is pretty much the truth.

In summary, if I get a message after the timer expires but before I go
back into the RCVMSG wait it will work just fine and be received by the
RCVMSG. Good.
