Adam,

I have to ask....why are you bothering to build your own queue?

My understanding is that queues are an integral (and well optimized)
part of the OS, so why not make use of the built in queue support?

Thanks for asking. I don't know anything about the OS support, but I'll search the API finder and see what I can find.

A quick API Finder search and a skim of an article[1] later, it doesn't appear that IBM i's data queue support will work for me. In fact, I suppose what I'm after isn't strictly a queue, but a mix of a queue and a list. I need to be able to process items sorted by timestamp, removing certain items from the front of the list and adding more items into the list with each pass.
