RE: Multi threading Data Queues

[Chris Bipes <chris.bipes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You are absolutely correct.  Glad to have introduced you to the Key parms of
data queues.  Remember that the parms are packed numeric or character.  No
integers here.  So CL works great cause you only have packed or character
data.  I don't know the default in COBOL.

Good luck,

I am not all that familiar with RPG but the call in a CL or COBOL would have
the same parms so that makes sense, so lets see if I understand this, as I
am retrieving the data from the Queue by key, I would get only those items
having an equal key (if I was selecting for =), and that item once read is
no longer available on the Queue. After all items with that key are
retrieved I will get a 0 value in the length parm even though there may be
other items in the queue with different key values. Other processes can be
concurrently processing their own uniquely identified items from that queue?

Heck if it's that simple I should have done that from the get go even though
I was not aware of the need!
