RE: *INQ message sent to *EXT queue via QMHSNDPM not received via QMHRCVPM

Thanks, Scott, but:

# rcvPgmMsg(msgRpyDS: %Size(msgRpyDS): 'RCVM0200'
# : '*EXT': *Zero
# : '*RPY': QMH_msgKey: -1: '*OLD': myUSEC) ;

Parameter 6 is *RPY. Wouldn't that be the correct message type for
receiving a reply?

After beating my head against the wall on this, I have landed on the answer
(or an answer at least). The problem that program has is that it's trying
to receive the response from *EXT rather than from the program message
queue. Once I changed the QMHRCVPM parameter 4 from *EXT to * it began
working. In my module-based version of this, then, I had to put the
QMHRCVPM in the same procedure as QMHSNDPM since I have no (known) way of
finding the name or address of the message queue of one procedure from
another procedure. I have only one major recurring complaint about IBM's
ILE implementation, and that is the huge stumbling block that "program
message queue" and message management in general inevitably becomes.

I do appreciate the reply.

When a user replies to an *INQ message, the reply is a whole new
message
of type *RPY.

The flaw in your code is that you are receiving the same message you
sent. You aren't looking for a new message of type *RPY...

If it helps, I wrote a tip about this back in 2004

Hi, Folks:



I'm trying to send a message to a program's *EXT queue for user

response,

and then process the response. But QMHRCVPM is not picking up the

response.

(I get CPF2410 (Msg key not found in message queue.)). I'm pretty

sure I've

done everything by the book - using the msg key generated by QMHSNDPM

as

parm to QMHRCVPM, et cetera - but the issue eludes me. I have posted
minimal code to recreate at http://code.midrange.com/71e3be69e2.html

and I'd

appreciate assistance!



Note: "By the book" in this case means: according to the "Inquiry

Messages"

DPM.htm. I compared against V5R3 (current version here) and don't

detect

any differences.
