RE: managing user indexes (*USRIDX)

Chuck and Vern,

The QUSRMVUI API returns the entries that were removed from the index effectively giving you a read and delete at the same time.

Multiple programs can access a user index at the same time. The key is
how they access it. You can do a 'destructive' read which removes the

Obviously, if entries are removed when read they won't be available
for other programs to access.

What MI instruction or API provides a "destructive read" capability for a
User Index object? There is the by-default destructive-read of messages
read from a Data Queue, and there is an alternate means to effect a non-
destructive-read of messages\entries on a queue. Or was perhaps a private
interface that combines the effects of FNDINXEN and RMVINXEN [or the
equivalent APIs: Retrieve User Index Entries (QUSRTVUI) API and Remove
User Index Entries (QUSRMVUI) API] being described, rather than a specific
method provided by the OS to access the Independent Index?
