Could MQGET output a pointer to a user space instead?

I'm not familiar with your program. Do you use the array for anything
else besides just a way to provide storage? (I wonder why you're using
an array instead of just a flat area of memory.) If it's just a way to
provide storage, you should be able to replace it with a user space --
just make the usrspc 800000 bytes long, like your array is, or make it
auto-extend.

If so, I could load the user space directly from MQ and then input into

the

%XML BIF or do I have to load the user space from the array elements?

Seems to me that outputting directly to the usrspc, and then parsing it
with %XML should work, but I haven't tried it. I have no experience
with MQ.

The one thing about it that makes me wonder is the length of the data...
I don't know what XML-INTO/XML-SAX will do if there's a bunch of
x'00' characters at the end of the data....
