MQSeries 5.2/ MQSI 2.0.1/ RS6000/AIX
I have a flat text file residing in an AIX directory & I want to place it in a message on a queue on the same machine. How might I achieve this? Thanks. |

One of the ways to achieve this is by reading the entire contents of the file into an array/pointer variable within your app and put this buffer into your MQPUT call.
In case you need it as a file at the other end, just reverse the process.
Cheers.

| Can someone please suggest a suitable app for this purpose? Are there any existing ones within MQ that I can use rather than writing one? Thanks. |

| Couldn't you also use a reference message? I've never messed with them, but I thought that they allowed you to pass a reference to a file. You then used a channel exit to read the file and send it along. A similar channel exit on the other side would create the file. There is an example in the MQSeries Version 5 Programming Examples Redbook. |

Hi,
amqsput queue qmgr < filename
will read your file and output one message for each line within the file
Cheers,
Ward.

You could, but AMQSPUT has a (I think) 80 byte max message length - so you need to change that and recompile if your text lines are bigger. AMQSGET with standard output redirected to a file could pull the messages off to a file on the other end.
BUT AMQSGET wraps <> around the message, so you would need (if you are using a sensible Unix platform an not some silly Microsoft one) to use "sed" or something to strip of the <>:
cat f1|grep '^message'|sed 's/message <//'|sed 's/>$//'>f2
Of course, this is a kludge, some sort of basic file->message->file utility would be better.
