Prerequisites for using data queues

Before using a data queue, you must first create it using the Create Data Queue (CRTDTAQ) command.

The following is an example:

CRTDTAQ DTAQ(MYLIB/INPUT)  MAXLEN(128)
        TEXT('Sample data queue')

The required MAXLEN parameter specifies the maximum length (1 to 64,512 characters) of the entries that are sent to the data queue.
