RE: MessageQ Break-Handling Programs

["Richard Jackson" <richardjackson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Of course, you are use the SNDRPY command to reply to the message ...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Send Reply (SNDRPY) command sends a reply message to the sender of an
inquiry message.  The message that is answered is the one having the
specified message reference key that was received at the specified message
queue.  If the specified message queue is not allocated to the job in
which this command is entered or to any other job, it is implicitly
allocated by this command for the duration of the command.

Note:  To see the parameter and value descriptions for this command, refer
       to the online help text.  For more information about printing the
       help text, refer to "Printing CL Command Descriptions" in Chapter
       1.


Example

  SNDRPY   MSGKEY(&KEY)  MSGQ(SMITH)  RPY(YES)

This command sends a reply of YES to the message whose reference key is
specified by &KEY, which was received at message queue SMITH.  Because the
reply contains only one word, the reply does not have to be enclosed in
apostrophes.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Inquiry message are fussy about this ...

Hi Brendan,
        yes, sev filter is '00';
        yes, I have specified RMV(*YES) in the bh-pgm - but the message
remains in the queue waiting to be answered, and smiling at me.
        I'm pretty sure that the bh-pgm is not being invoked.

I think I can assume you mean the msgq severity 'filter' is 00

It can do, theres no difference.

You obviously know what you are doing, so I would suggest that the program
is being invoked but its not doing what you want... are you sure it's not
just ignoring the message. Are you doing something like rcvmsg rmv(*yes)?
