Hello Richard,

I want to force a message queue to BREAK mode using a CL, then send it a message.

Why not send a break message? Then you don't have to change the message queue.



Being a tidy person I would like to return it to it's prior status. How do I retrieve the delivery status of a message queue ( not mine, most likely QSYSOPR's ) before I change it?

You can do that with the QMHRMQAT API, as Wayne pointed out. But, I wanted to warn you that this is NOT a tidy solution! Message queues, especially QSYSOPR, are often shared by many applications. IF two applications ran at the same time that both tried to change it to break mode, and change it back, they'd risk interfering with one another.

Sending a break message is a much better option than changing the message queue delivery (when used as part of a program's algorithm, anyway).

Just something to think about
