Hello,

Shouldn't the runmqsc command "DEFINE QL(QUEUE1) REPLACE" define a new queue called QUEUE1 and if there's already a QUEUE1, replace it?
I tried it by creating a queue, put some msgs in it with amqsput and then defining the same queue again with "REPLACE",. and I noticed that the queue still had the curdepth(> 0). Could someone tell if this how it works or if I'm missing something? Thanks.

Everything in MQ is case-sensitive. So, 'QUEUE1' and 'queue1' are different queues. If you want to keep mixed case, make sure to surround the name with apostrophes. If you don't enclose in apostrophes, the name will be folded into UPPER-CASE.

DEFINE with REPLACE will Not delete messages

I edited the first post. I did use upper case both the times. The queue name's QUEUE1.

I tried this, but it didn't fail. Command ran successfully and I still see the messages.

The DEFINE REPLACE works to change/replace object attributes. It does NOT delete messages from queues.

The.MQSC CLEAR command will delete messages from a local queue.

Caveat: Provided there are no open handles on it.
