AS400 RPGLE data queue tutorial

- Create, Delete, Send and
Receive data
Data queues are a type of server object that you can create, to which one procedure or
program can send data, and from which another procedure or program can receive
data. The receiving program can be already waiting for the data, or can receive the data
later. Using data queues frees a job from performing a piece of work. If the job is
interactive, this can provide better response time and decrease the size of the
interactive program and its process access group.
Data queues provide many benefits to PC developers and iSeries applications
developers, including:
They are a fast and efficient means of communication on the iSeries server.
They have low system overhead and require very little setup.
They are efficient because a single data queue can be used by a batch job to
service several interactive jobs.
The contents of a data queue message are free-format (fields are not required),
providing flexibility that is not provided by other system objects.
Access data queues through an iSeries API and through CL commands, which
provides a straight-forward means of developing client/server applications.

There are three ways to designate the order of messages on a data queue:
LIFO
o
FIFO

Last in, first out. The last message (newest) placed on the data queue
will be the first message taken off of the queue.

First in, first out. The first message (oldest) placed on the data queue
will be the first message taken off of the queue.

KEYED
o

Each message on the data queue has a key associated with it. A
message can be taken off of the queue only by requesting the key with
which it is associated.

Commands for Creating and destroying a data queue:

CRTDTAQ
o

Creates a data queue and stores it in a specified library

DLTDTAQ
o

Deletes the specified data queue from the system

OS/400 application programming interfaces:

QSNDDTAQ
o

Send a message (record) to the specified data queue

QRCVDTAQ
o

Read a message (record) to the specified data queue

QCLRDTAQ
o

Clear all messages from the specified data queue

CRTDTAQ Command allows you to create a data queue object. A data queue is
identified on AS400 system by its type *DTAQ. This command allows you to
create both local as well DDM data queue. Some of the command parameters
are ...
Name This is the name of the data queue. Its required parameter.
Library Default is users current library.
Type Default is standard (*STD). Created on local system. A DDM data queue is
the same as a DDM file. It is a logical view of a data queue on another

machine. A DDM data queue points to the *STD data queue on the other
machine.
Max Length This is the maximum length of each entry. We generally keep it
sufficient enough to accommodate any future changes.
Auxiliary Storage Default is *NO. This means any changes to data queue are
not immediately written to the backup storage. *YES means changes are
immediately written to the backup storage.
Access Sequence This is what we discussed earlier. Default is the most
commonly used access sequence i.e *FIFO. Other valid values are *LIFO and
*KEYED. If you select *KEYED, you are then prompted for the key length. Just
as with a database file, the key length is the length of the data you are going
to use as the key to the data queue.
Size This value restricts the maximum storage which can be allocated to a data
queue. This can be a number like 100, *MAX16MB or *MAX2GB. With *max
options, the system calculates how many max entries should be allowed.

Example:
?

1 CRTDTAQ DTAQ(MYLIB/@MYDATAQ) MAXLEN(256)

You can create a DDM data queue with the following command:
?

1 CRTDTAQ DTAQ(LOCALLIB/DDMDTAQ) TYPE(*DDM)

2 RMTDTAQ(REMOTELIB/REMOTEDTAQ) RMTLOCNAME(SYSTEMB)
3 TEXT('DDM data queue to access data queue on SYSTEMB')
DLTDTAQ command allows you to delete a data queue from a specific a
specific library.
Example:
?

1 DLTDTAQ DTAQ(MYLIB/@MYDATAQ)
The Send Data Queue (QSNDDTAQ) API sends data to the specified data
queue.
?

parm
parm
parm

'QSNDDTAQ'
'@MYDATAQ'
dtaq_name
'*LIBL'
dtaq_lib
256
dtaq_len
dtaq_data

The Receive Data Queue (QRCVDTAQ) API receives data from the specified
data queue.
When more than one program has a receive pending on a data queue at one time, a
data entry sent to the data queue is received by only one of the programs. The program
with the highest run priority receives the entry. The next entry sent to the queue is
given to the job with the next highest priority.

DMPOBJ. Data queue display.

Unlike DSPDTAARA, There is no iSeries/AS400 defined command

for display data queue.
The following commands are among the few CL commands that

IBM ships with OS/400 for data queues:

* CRTDTAQ--Create Data Queue
* DLTDTAQ--Delete Data Queue
* WRKDTAQ--Work with Data Queues
But No DISPLAY CMD FOR DATAQ is defined for DATAQ. Some one
can created his/her own command to display data queue
contents using APIs. Use Google and give a try.
========================================================
Instead of that TAATOOL (A Third Party Command Utility
Provider) has created a command.
A typical command would be:
DSPDTAQD DTAQ(xxx)
Command parameters
----------------DTAQ The qualified name of the data queue. The
library value defaults to *LIBL. *CURLIB may also
specified.
OUTPUT Whether to display or print the output. * is
the default. *PRINT may be entered. These values have
the same meaning as on system commands.
Re: DATA Queue
A data queue is a first in first out data stack.
The following API will allow you to read a data queue without removing the entry.
Retrieve Data Queue Message (QMHRDQM) retrieves an entry from a data queue without
removing the entry.
Here is a link to get the V5R2 version of the API
