				| I'm a newby on MQ and have an issue, when I access my newly created queue using 12=Work with messages, and then 8=Display Data, I only see half the data.  I changed the queue values Maximum queue to    10000 and Maximum message length . . . . :   104857600, both much higher values than the defaults.  Why can't I see the entire DATAGRAM? any help appreciated, frank

				| Is this OS/400, or Z/OS? 
 Have you considered that it may be the viewing tool is only showing you half the message?
 
 Have you considered that it may be the putting tool that is only putting half the message?
 
 Have you looked at the MQMD to see if the message length is correct for what you expect, or if it is correct for "half the message"?

				| Judging by the lingo (12=Work with messages, and then 8=Display Data), I'm guessing you're talking AS/400. 
 I'm pretty sure it's a limitation of the panels.  I just threw a couple of 10K messages on a queue and when I do a "Work with Messages" I get the following:
 
 GMT       GMT
 Opt  Date      Time      Type      UserId        Format          Size
 20051208  20105766  DATAGRAM  QMQM          MQSTR          1024+
 20051208  20105770  DATAGRAM  QMQM          MQSTR          1024+
 
 And when I do an option 8 (Display Data) I only get the first 1024 bytes (64 rows of 16 bytes).
 
 Strangely enough, there is no field anywhere to state what the actual size of the message is, even in option 5 (Display Description), which shows the MQMD!
 
 Cheers
 Steve

				| One of our folks figured this out.  If the entire datagram is not viewable use wrkmqmmsg and increase the maximum message size. Thanks for your help folks, I'll have more questions I'm sure.
