Re: Are data queues reliable?

[DrFranken <midrange@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm with Glenn, they are awesome when used correctly. I have been using 
them since V1R2 of OS/400 and have never known them to be unreliable. 
THE issue that we saw with them was simply that it's not simple to see 
what's in them. Not impossible of course but not simple like DSPDTAQ 
simple. Well unless you have TAATOOLs then you can. :-)
