EGL Reference Guide for iSeries
You can declare MQ record parts in a program file or definitions file.
For an overview of those files, see EGL source format. For
an overview of how EGL interacts with MQSeries, see MQSeries
support.
An example of an MQ record part is as follows:
Record myMQRecordPart type mqRecord
{
queueName = "myQueue"
}
10 myField01 CHAR(2);
10 myField02 CHAR(78);
end
The syntax diagram for an MQ record part is as follows:

- Record recordPartName mqRecord
- Identifies the part as being of type mqRecord and specifies the
name. For rules, see Naming conventions.
- queueName = queueName
- The queue name, which is the logical queue name and usually not the name
of the physical queue. For details on the format of your input, see
MQ record properties.
- getOptions = getRecordName
- Identifies a program variable (a basic record) that is used as a get
options record. For details, see Options records for MQ
records.
- putOptions = putRecordName
- Identifies a program variable (a basic record) that is used as a put
options record. For details, see Options records for MQ
records.
- openOptions = openRecordName
- Identifies a program variable (a basic record) that is used as an open
options record. For details, see Options records for MQ
records.
- msgDescriptor = msgDRecordName
- Identifies a program variable (a basic record) that is used as a message
descriptor. For details, see Options records for MQ
records.
- queueDescriptor = QDRecordName
- Identifies a program variable (a basic record) that is used as a queue
descriptor. For details, see Options records for MQ
records.
- includeMsgInTransaction = yes, includeMsgInTransaction =
no
- If this property is set to yes (the default), each of the
record-specific messages is embedded in a transaction, and your code can
commit or roll back that transaction. For details on the implications
of your choice, see MQSeries support.
- openQueueExclusive = no, openQueueExclusive =
yes
- If this property is set to yes, your code has the exclusive
ability to read from the message queue; otherwise, other programs can
read from the queue. The default is no. This property
is equivalent to the MQSeries option MQOO_INPUT_EXCLUSIVE.
- lengthItem = lengthItem
- The length item, as described in MQ record properties.
- numElementsItem = numElementsItem
- The number of elements item, as described in MQ record
properties.
- structureItem
- A structure item, as described in Structure item in EGL source
format.
