I have been tasked with converting a working MQ Broker flow process to COBOL and MQ Series. I have a screen shot (using RFHUTILC) of what the program needs to create but, I can't seem to get it to attach. I have been able to replicate everything except the data on the RFH screen. I have researched the Cobol copybooks and it looks like CMQRFH2V and CMQPSV are what I will need. However I am not sure how to handle populating the fields below as the copybook variables are not long enough to hold the information.
Message Domain-mrm PIC X(3) ok
Msg Set-LLCABES002001 PIC X(3) too short
Msg Type-{}:FleetServiceRequest PIC X(4) too short
Output Format-XML1 PIC X(3) too short
I am I way off base on how to put out the data? |

Frankly yes.
I've no idea what CMQPSV is!
I would have thought you need CMQMQV (the definition of the MQMD).
If you don't need the data on the RFH2 screen then why do you need CMQRFH2V (the definition of the RFH2 data)?
See here and pay attention to the 4-byte alignment requirement. Catches a lot of people out.

Ah. So this:

refers to the data shown as the payload in RFHUtil? My bad.
I still don't know what CMQPSV describes, and I still think you need an MQMD.

CMQPSV is the COBOL copybook for Publish/Subscribe definitions However my MQ Broker application doesn't populate that information. It just happens to be the only copybook that has the fields. Comments in the copybook refer to being an extension of the RFh2 header fields.
I am populating a MQMD but I also need to populated those RFHV2 fields.
I am having my tech team open an issue with IBM Support to see if they can point me in the right direction. I have been browsing the web for several days and I am still no closer to finding the answer. Most say use MQ Broker which we are eliminating or write the code in Java. It should not be this difficult to find out how to populate those fields. If RFUTILC supports it, COBOL should. |

If you are using pub /sub in cobol look at using the regular interface. Define a topic alias and use it like you would a queue... Publish should not be hard and if your subscriptions can be administrative you can retrieve the messages from a queue....
Have fun

Something of a non-sequester. RFHUtil is written in C; I see no particular reason why one language should have all the features of another. I offer into evidence the fact that there are many suggestions to do this in Java (which has native support for this) and no other language but COBOL requires you to manually align data structures on 4 byte boundaries.

Was that meant to be a non-sequitur?

I hereby serve a "cease and desist" notice.
It's a non-sequitur
Always knew Latin would come in handy one day.
