The Bridge simply reads the message passes it to your program BUT it is not
called by your program like a wrapper. Its monitoring a queue and when a
message arrives it reads it and links to your program and passes the
message to your program in the commarea.
This is not going to be a substitute for times when you have to add MQ API
calls into an existing program. Your programmers can not always use the
bridge and thus they will learn the API calls. The API from batch to
online is the same so have no fear they will not be isolated from learning
the MQ API just because they use the bridge in appropriate situations.

Back to my comments and Dennis'. You will end up building something simular
to what the bridge offers. Except you will be in charge of the coding. So
if
you have requirements NOW or in the Future that the Bridge does not address
it is within you scope to add it.
Now it becomes a point of getting someone to write the code. The Bridge,
although I never worked with it, is a wrapper for MQ to your CICS programs.
Do you want your CICS programmers sheilded from the MQ stuff. That is a
call
for your IT people. I prefer to allow everyone to be educated. Makes for a
more robust programming environment. Some will argue that it also
intorduces
the "WILDCARD" syndrome. Toooo much knowledge is dangerous. I on the other
hand believ in "Give them a fish and they eat for the day. Teach them to
Fish and they will be less likely to p.i.s.s in the water!!
