data queues -- MIDRANGE-L

× The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

The API Retrieve Data Queue Message (QMHRDQM) has been available since
V2R3.  This API provides for retrieving a message without removing the
message and is available on both CISC and RISC.  The API is documented
in the System API Reference.
