Hi,
I have done some mq-programming before, but never used the MQRFH2 header. Now we have a request from our AIX group that the messages delivered from the mainframe should include a MQRFH2 header. I've looked in to the programming guide and the reference gudie, but can not find any good explanation or examples on how to do this in PL/1 (cobol is allso an option).
Anyone who can enlighten me on this, or have a link to some example?
Best Regards,
Heikki Elenius |

Look at the new support pack for RFH headers in C (JMX ?)
Check if you can use the C libraries as it will save you tons of grief.
Otherwise the best bet is using JMS.
Anything else : "Hello pain"
Enjoy  |

I'm afraid that C is out of the question due to company standards, and due to my lack of skills in that language, and JMX/JMS is something that I'm totally unfamilliar with.
The goal is to make this in
A) PL/1 (company standard mf language)
B) COBOL (allmost standard)
C) Assembler (my standard  )
So I'll guess it's gonna be "hello pain" 
Somewhere out there, someone must have done this before?

Heikki |

Are you using Java on zOS?
If yes look into the JMS classes for MQ
Read up on JMS (see java.sun.com)
and use it. You will go so much faster...

First question you should ask: Why. Depending on their answer you may not even need the RFH2.
Cheers,

Nope. No Java installed in the box, have to live with pl/1, cobol or assembler. Banging my head on this one, will have to talk to the AIX people and talk them into some other sollution. As usual, they allready developed the clientside application without checking with the mainframeguys to see what we can deliver.

EDITED: Eddie, yes will have a talk with them asap to try to straighten things out. But anyway, seems strange that there is so little documentation on this for the mainframe. |

Not that strange as it is mainly used in pub/sub JMS.
That is why you have a java zOS version for ! |

Yes, but still think it strange that there's no samples on a supported function in any of the most common languages on mainframe (COBOL and PL/1). After all, the structure is available both in COBOL and PL/1, but no (good) explanation on how to use it.

Hekki,
if you still need some help with RFH2 and PL/1 drop me a line and I'll send you some code. No great secrets here - just some care needed handling lengths and padding.
Always happy to help with PL/1 -
kind regards,
Cliff |

Hi Cliff,
If you have PLI / MQ / RFH2 code that you want to share with the world then email me a copy. I will post it to my web site and make a note that you are the author.
Regards,
Roger Lacroix

Hi Heikki,
Did you ever get the PL1 code you were looking for? I could really use that now.
Thanks!
