RE: QRCVDTAQ (Receive Data Queue) program

Now that I have my RPG/Java program waiting for entries in a data queue
working perfectly I have come across a problem.  I want to be able to tell
the calling program (program1) whether or not the program (program2) on the
receiving end of the data queue completed successfully.  Now obviously a
data queue transaction is asynchronous (from what I can tell) so I would
then have to have program1 listen for a response on a separate data queue
(dataQueue2).  When the program2 completed it's iteration successfully I
would write an entry out to dataQueue2 for program1 to pick up.

Is there an easier way?

The reason I needed the data queues in the first place was because of the
cost of starting a JVM for every time I wanted to call my java program in an
automated environment.

Thanks for any idea's you can share,
