Put the msg with Format MQFMT_NONE.
Also, reference msgs can send files over a channel. There is a sample app which does this.

amqsput is not a command, it's a piece of sample code. As delivered it takes a string of 100 bytes and sends it, so is unsuitable for your needs.
Either use it as a template for an application designed as Nigelg suggests, or purchase a file-over-MQ solution like PM4DATA.
(No endorsement intended, other file moving products are available, etc, etc).

If you purchase PM4DATA (or similar, see above) then the file will be delivered into the target file system, if so configured (and I expect in this instance you would). PM4DATA does have the ability to turn files into messages but that wouldn't make sense in your requirement.
If you write an application as suggested to transfer the file over MQ, obviously you'd need a matching application (presumably based on amqsget) to read it off and write it to the file system.
In both instances you'd view it with the software of your choice.

If you want more information, may I unreservedly recommend this page on Roger's site:
http://www.capitalware.biz/mqseries.html
You'll find a list of the commerical software available for WMQ (including file transfer software), as well as a host of other useful links.

Another is to convert the file to character representation (eg BASE64) and include it as part of a string message.
Also look at reference messages which allow the transportation of files by the queue managers.
Finally there is a simple file transfer interface supplied as part of MQ. |
