RE: data queues

["Walden Leverich" <walden@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

John,

With a max size of 16Meg do you really care if the data space does not get
reclaimed? While I don't disagree that a RCLDTAQ, and for that matter a
DSPDTAQ, command would "round-out" the data queue family, there are a lot of
things I would rather see IBM spend its time on.
