Glad to here group-id will be supported in OS390 MQS 5.3 - but if you do not want to wait, you can code the logic yourself and still send valid messages to a platform which supports group-id. Below is some sample COBOL code.
Be aware that the channel definition must have CONVERT BY SENDER equal to N and the receiving application will have to use CONVERT on the GET options. Your application program will have to handle increasing the MSGSEQNUMBER too. *$$BATCH,(OR AS400 UNIX WINDOWS VMS * IF P826AZ-CODEDCHARSETID = 0 * PERFORM BF710-INQ-QMGR ---this code pulls the value of the CCDID from the queue manager information. * END-IF. *$$END *$$CICS * MOVE 37 TO P826AZ-CODEDCHARSETID. *$$END *$$BATCH (OR AS400 CICS UNIX WINDOWS * MOVE P826AZ-CODEDCHARSETID TO MQMDE-CODEDCHARSETID. * MOVE MQMD-FORMAT TO MQMDE-FORMAT. * MOVE MQFMT-MD-EXTENSION TO MQMD-FORMAT. * MOVE P826AZ-GROUPID TO MQMDE-GROUPID. * MOVE P826AZ-MSGSEQNUMBER TO MQMDE-MSGSEQNUMBER. * IF P826AZ-ACTION = 'LAST' * MOVE MQMF-LAST-MSG-IN-GROUP TO MQMDE-MSGFLAGS * ELSE * MOVE MQMF-MSG-IN-GROUP TO MQMDE-MSGFLAGS * END-IF. * ADD MQMDE-STRUCLENGTH TO WM3-BUFFLEN. * STRING MQMDE P826AZ-DATA * DELIMITED BY SIZE INTO WM-MOVE-DATA. * MOVE WM-MOVE-DATA TO P826AZ-DATA. *$$END -----Original Message----- From: Graham Lekota [mailto:graham.lekota@;LIBERTY.CO.ZA] Sent: Monday, October 28, 2002 6:17 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: put with logical order MQSeries on OS/390 does not support version 2 of the MQPMO Structure which allows for grouping of messages. If i want to group messages from OS/390 to solaris will it be possible to do this using MQSI? Any ideas will be appreciated.
