Bill, Thanks for your response. The reason why I didn't get the 'in use' message is because the channel is down. There are no ipprocs/opprocs. The get/put are both enabled. I even went as far as to change the usage to normal...nothing is working.

That means no other application can open the queue for input (to get messages). If the channel is stopped, It would have disabled gets on the queue when it went down, which has the same effect. You would have to re-enable gets on the queue before you can clear it. That said about xmit queues, I am surprised at the error, I would expect something different, like "queue in use" or something similar. Anyway, you may want to try ensuring the channel is down (stopped) and then use MQSC commands to re-enable the get attribute on the queue and see if that helps.

It is a transmit queue. One of the messages is 2.5M...too big. I cannot delete that message nor can I clear the queue. I get the following error: clear qlocal(OS4MQSP1) AMQ8143: WebSphere MQ queue not empty. Has any seen this? Any recommendations?
