Re: Data Queues

[Erick <egarske@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Bob,

This is Erick from FORMation mg. I talked with you the other day on the
phone. I had found an archive article on data queues in NEWS/400 from
October 95 and will use this information as well as your information. 

Although not a current hot project, I would like to use a data queue
associated with an outqueue to trigger a batch program (our FORMS
engine). Currently, our forms engine poles the out queue at a predefined
interval of ten seconds. I really would like to redesign this using data
queues for the sake of efficiency.

Good talking with you the other day.
