[mbhide]

Does anybody know how to attach file to message to be put in MQSeries queue?

Use Reference messages as stated in IBM MQ Series Application Programming Guide on page 144.
It works as MQ FTP. They have sample programs in different languages there as well.

hi lecmns

chksi. Thanks for the response.

search for "Reference Messages" or "Handling Large Messages" in MQSeries Application Programming guide.

There are three ways of transferring large messages:

1. Increasing Maximum size of the queue or queue manager
2. Message Segmentation (Arbitrary Segmentation, Application Segmentation)
3. Reference Messages

For transferring files the best way is Reference Messages.

Thanks mbhide,
I was not clear about "MQ FTP", it is not an IBM definition, I meant it works as FTP.

Here's a sample code:
-------------------------------------------
Const CCHBUFFER = 272
Private Function Get_All()
Dim md As MQMD 'message desciptor
Dim gmo As MQGMO 'get message options
Dim buflen As Long 'length of get buffer
Dim Buffer As String * CCHBUFFER 'got message
Dim messlen As Long 'length of returned message
Dim CompCode As Long 'completion code

'setup Get Message Options to the required values
MQGMO_DEFAULTS gmo
gmptions = MQGMO_WAIT + MQGMO_ACCEPT_TRUNCATED_MSG
gmo.WaitInterval = 10000 'ten secs
'messlen = 272
'setup message descriptor to the required values
MQMD_DEFAULTS md

'setup length of GET buffer
buflen = CCHBUFFER

........and so on.................
