Re: Are data queues reliable?

I'm with Glenn, they are awesome when used correctly. I have been using them since V1R2 of OS/400 and have never known them to be unreliable. THE issue that we saw with them was simply that it's not simple to see what's in them. Not impossible of course but not simple like DSPDTAQ simple. Well unless you have TAATOOLs then you can. :-)

I have a project I'm designing that uses data queues. A colleague
remembered from a former job that they seemed to have problems using data
queues, but couldn't remember specifics. Apparently, they were deemed
unreliable there and so they redesigned their processes to avoid using
them. She is following up with a former colleague to refresh her memory,
but it may be awhile since we're in the holiday season.

I personally haven't done a lot of work using data queues, but what I have
done has proven to be absolutely reliable. I am certain that if there were
any issues with data queues, given their importance in many applications,
a) we would know about them, and b) IBM would have fixed them pronto a LONG
time ago.

Still, just doing my due diligence with this.
