RE: Send Message Reply (SNDRPY)

After the SNDPGMMSG, do a RCVMSG :

             RCVMSG     MSGQ(SMTSTMQ) MSGTYPE(*LAST) +
                          RMV(*NO) KEYVAR(&MSGKEY)

And then use that key for the SNDRPY.

The only problem is that msgtype(*LAST) is not exactly accurate, another
message may nip in inbetween your SNDPGMMSG & RCVMSG...

~ I have a program that sends an *INQ message to *SYSOPR.  If the
~ message has
~ not been responded to within 10 minutes, I want to automatically retry the
~ condition that caused the *INQ message to be sent.  Using
~ SNDPGMMSG to send
~ the message and RCVMSG to wait for a response with a timeout works fine.
~ However, I don't want to leave expired, unanswered messages in QSYSOPR.  I
~ am trying, without success, to send the message an "R" for retry.  I have
~ tried this on both a V3R7 and V4R3 system, so I assume that I am doing
~ something wrong and it is not a system problem with the SNDRPY command.  I
~ have set up the following code to test an automated response to an inquiry
~ message.
~
~ XA172CP:    PGM        /* Wait for Multi-Threaded to Complete and +
~                          Submit Single */
~             DCL        VAR(&MSGKEY) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(4) /* message +
~                          key */
~             DCL        VAR(&MSGRPY) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(1) /* message +
~                          reply */
~             SNDPGMMSG  MSGID(UXA0193) MSGF(XAMSGMF) TOMSGQ(SMTSTMQ) +
~                          MSGTYPE(*INQ) KEYVAR(&MSGKEY) /* ask +
~                          operator to retry or ignore active jobs */
~             SNDRPY     MSGKEY(&MSGKEY) MSGQ(SMTSTMQ) RPY('R') +
~                          RMV(*NO)
~ END:        ENDPGM
~
~ This code receives CPF2410 "Message key not found in message queue
~ SMTSTMQ.". If I add RPYMSGQ(SMTSTMQ) to the SNDPGMMSG command,
~ error CPF2432
~ "Cannot send reply to message type other than *INQ or *NOTIFY."
~ is received.
~
~ My problem seems to be related to the use of message keys with non-program
~ message queues.
~
~ Any thoughts on how I can make this work?
