The QMHQRDQD Retrieve Data Queue Description API will give you all the info
you need. It could be what the TAATOOLS uses. Easiest in RPG or C, but also
easy to use in CL.

DCL &RCVVAR *CHAR 108
CALL QMHQRDQD (&RCVVAR x'0000006C' 'RDQD0100' 'queuename_queuelib__')

Then you need to determine where to substring &RCVVAR. Handle BINARY(4) ad
CHAR 4 and use the %BIN function.

Position Type      Field
1        BINARY(4) Bytes returned
5        BINARY(4) Bytes available
9        BINARY(4) Message length
13       BINARY(4) Key length
17       CHAR(1)   Sequence
18       CHAR(1)   Include sender ID
19       CHAR(1)   Force indicator
20       CHAR(50)  Text description
70       CHAR(1)   Type of data queue
71       CHAR(1)   Automatic Reclaim
72       CHAR(1)   Reserved
73       BINARY(4) Number of messages
77       BINARY(4) Number of entries currently allocated
81       CHAR(10)  Data queue name used
91       CHAR(10)  Data queue library used
101      BINARY(4) Maximum number of entries allowed
105      BINARY(4) Initial number of entries
