How do i read messages that are older than a certain date from a queue ?

Basically i have a queue (we call staging queue), that has messages queued up in it ever since we deployed the application. we are trying implement some kind of maintainance like delete any messages older than a month. I am not sure how i can get the messages based on a date ? . Any help would be appreciated.

You can browse each message and check the date. If the date is less than a month ten continue browsing.

If the date is older than a month then do a MQGET

Browse queue, look at the PUTDATE in the MQMD and then GET_MESSAGE_UNDER_CURSOR for the ones you want to process.

You might be better served setting message expiry and getting MQ to delete messages that are part their sell-by date.
