Re: managing user indexes (*USRIDX)

In the particular setup I mentioned we use both. There are several NEP 'client' jobs that read entries from a data queue. When an entry is received they take the key value in the data queue entry and retrieve all of the entries from the user index associated with that key and act on them individually as well as a group. When all of the user index entries have been processed the client waits for the next data queue entry.

Cool. I still wonder which object you are using - you mention both user index
and data queue in your post - just curious while looking for work!!

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

the entries when they are read or you can simply read the entries.
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?
