Refer also to the companion MSGQ_RECEIVE and WATCH_MSGQ activities that allow you to receive messages from a named message queue.  Refer to IBM i documentation concerning message queues, message descriptions and message files for further information about the operating system features upon which this activity depends.

INPUT Parameters:

TOMSGQ: Required

This parameter must specify the name of the message queue to which the message is sent.

TOMSGQLIB: Optional

This parameter specifies the name of the library containing the message queue.  If not specified, a default of *LIBL is used which means the library list is used to locate the named message queue.

MSG: Optional

This parameter specifies the message text for an impromptu message.  If message text is specified in this parameter, any values specified in the MSGID, MSGF, MSGFLIB and MSGDTA parameters are ignored.

MSGID: Optional

Specifies the message identifier for a pre-defined message description contained in the message file named in the MSGF parameter.  The message identifier is an alphanumeric value of seven characters and numbers.  For example, CPF9898 is the message identifier for a general-purpose message description supplied with the IBM i operating system in message file QCPFMSG.  This value is ignored if impromptu message text is specified in the MSG parameter.

MSGF: Optional

Specifies the name of the message file containing the pre-defined message description identified by the MSGID parameter.  For example, QCPFMSG is the name of a message file supplied with the IBM i operating system, but you may use message files of your own as well.  This value is ignored if impromptu message text is specified in the MSG parameter.

MSGFLIB: Optional

This parameter specifies the name of the library containing the message file identified by the MSGF parameter.  If not specified, a default of *LIBL is used which means the library list is used to locate the named message file.  This value is ignored if impromptu message text is specified in the MSG parameter.

MSGDTA: Optional

When using a pre-defined message, This parameter specifies a string containing one or more substitution values that are used as message data fields within the pre-defined message.  This value is ignored if impromptu message text is specified in the MSG parameter.
