Overview

The definition and activity of MQ/204 queue managers, queues, and messages can be defined and changed using options. For review of how options are changed and passed by MQ/204 statements and commands, see Rules of inheritance.

GROUPID The GROUPID is a 24-byte field that you specify when writing messages that belong to a group. You must specify GROUPID as a null string (or spaces) on the first message of any group. For MQGET, MQPUT, and MQPUT1 calls, the group identifier of the message is returned in the MQMD, not in the GROUPID field, which is always an input field only.

On an MQGET call, this is an input field when MATCH_GROUP_ID is specified.

 MQGET

MQPUT

MQPUT1

GSTATUS

= [ ' ' | 'G' | 'L']		 The one-byte GSTATUS field determines whether the message is part of a group. The possible values are:
  • 'G' (all messages in a group except the last or only one)
  • 'L' (the last or only logical message in a group)
  • Space or null (the message is not in a group)
On MQGET operations, this is an output %variable. If you are writing messages that belong to a group but are not in logical order, set this to 'L' for the message that has the highest sequence number.

The default, for MQPUT and MQPUT1 operations, is null--the message does not form part of a group.

 MQGET

 OPEN QUEUE
LOCK LOCK lets you browse a queue and lock the current message so that other threads do not see it. The default is not to lock messages while browsing them. MQGET
UNLOCK UNLOCK lets you remove a lock from a previously-locked message. When you specify UNLOCK, the message itself is not returned, it is just unlocked. MQGET
LOGICAL_ORDER Write one group at a time and write messages in sequential order, starting at 1. This is the simpler way of writing a group of messages. However, it is not the default. DEFINE QUEUE

MODIFY QUEUE

MODEL=name
or =%variable		 Specifies the internal, Model 204 name of the local dynamic queue. Must be set in the same statement with the DYNAMICQNAME option. MQOPEN

SAVE_ALL_CONTEXT Saves context information when messages are retrieved with MQGET. Corresponds to WebSphere MQ MQOO_SAVE_ALL_CONTEXT.

Can be specified only if one of the INPUT_* options is also specified.

 OPEN QUEUE
SEQUENCE=%variable For messages that are part of a group and NOT_LOGICAL_ORDER is specified (or is the default), this number specifies the logical position of the message within the group, which need not be the physical sequence in which the messages are written. The logical first message is message sequence 1.

When using SEQUENCE with the MATCH_MSG_SEQ_NUMBER option, you can only match a SEQUENCE greater than 1 within the current group. You cannot, for example, do a repeated BROWSE_NEXT with SEQUENCE 2 to jump from one group to another.
