RE: Record size limitation in RPG - MQ Series

Eric, Keith, Colin, jt, James, Scott, et al.
Thanks for all the great suggestions.  You guys are great.  I think I am
going to attempt to use a user space.  How do you pass the pointer to a user
space to the MQPUT?  There is an API to call to do the MQPUT, but I don't
know how to pass the pointer.  Anyone have an example.  I am going to do a
little more research in the archives.

Carl 

user spaces are actually pretty easy to use. 

Use the API QUSPTRUS, Retrieve User Space Pointer, in your RPG, to point a 
32K variable in your RPG to a user space.  Then when you update the 
variable, you will be writing to the user space. 

When you fill up the variable, add 32k to the pointer, clear the variable 
and do it again until you've processed the whole message. 

Pass the message length and the pointer to the user space to MQPUT, and your

away. Did the same thing 8 years ago, and im sure that was on V3R7 

cheers
