Primary intention is asyncronious job to job communication.

Another explanation - if you feel comfortable with messageques:
Dataqueues are the same as messageques, only different.


1. They can have a hanging 'msg-wait' from more than one job at the same time 
(dataqueues only one). Example: You can
split the processing of the data into more identical jobs)
2. The processing of entries can be only sequential (arrival, LIFO or indexed). 
Example: Use the index to indicate
priority or I/O-optimize by processing same keys right after each-other
3. You can only recieve (and remove) one at a time - not 'browse' through them 
all. This is true if you forget the
'non-authorized- TAATOOL/DSPDTAQ.
4. The dataqueue API's run in mch-pool
