RE: UPS & AS/400 talking to each other

>>>>Anyway - Fine, the key is optional.
NOW i understand - i thought that the msgq would have to
pass thru the msgid ( and maybe the other bits along with it).
to get the actual latest msg from all the rest.

But now i look, the break handler is just passed enough to
be able to receive the rest via the RCVMSG cmd, and with a
wait(*max) operates sort of like a dataq (-1).


If this is right - no probs.<<<<

The break handling pgm will be called for every message so the program
doesnt need to loop on itself. So it is more like a trigger pgm than
waiting on a dtaq and therefore doesn't need to wait either. There is
however nothing stopping the pgm navigating around the message queue.
You should check OS/400 CL Programming Guide chapter 8.4. It has a good
explanation and coded examples. If you don't have a manual use
