Did you put a return in your mydlq.rul file on the last line? Can you get runmqldq to pull off any messages at all when using a rules file? When you run it interactively you have to key control-z, control-z in order for the commands to be executed. Put a hard return at the end of your rule and try again.

I am on MQ 5.3 CSD03 on W2K. I have a qmgr QM1 which uses QM1.DEAD as its dead letter q. Both QM1.DEAD and Q1 are defined as local queues on QM1 (they both are put/get enabled, maxmsglenghth = qmgr max length, qdepth=40000, Shared). Currently QM1.DEAD has 3 messages on it. I have a rule table (mydlq.rul) that just has these 2 lines in it just for testing: inputqm(QM1) inputq(QM1.DEAD) ACTION(FWD) FWDQ(Q1) FWDQM(QM1) HEADER(YES) When I run the runmqdlq on the command prompt as: Runmqdlq c:\mydlq.rul It starts running but QM1.DEAD still has 3 messages, as if the runmqdlq is ignoring the action(fwd) in the rule table. Why is it not working?
