Sending a Test Message
To put a test message on your queue use the supplied sample programs. For
example, to put messages to a queue called TEST.QUEUE, defined for a queue
manager called TEST.QMANAGER, enter the command:
CALL PGM(QMQM/AMQSPUT0) PARM(TEST.QUEUE TEST.QMANAGER)
You can now type a message (a simple character string is sufficient) and press
Enter to send the message to the queue. Press Enter again to return to a
command line.
To see the message on the queue, either:
v Browse the queue (see “Browsing Queues”), or
v Type CALL PGM(QMQM/AMQSGET4) PARM(TEST.QUEUE TEST.QMANAGER) on a
command line.
See “Appendix A. Sample MQI Programs” on page 99 for a list of the supplied
