cwbDQ_Read

Purpose

Read a record from the iSeries™ data queue object that is identified by the specified handle. When a record is read from a data queue, it is removed from the data queue. You may wait for a record if the data queue is empty by specifying a wait time from 0 to 99,999 or forever (-1). A wait time of zero will return immediately if there is no data in the data queue.
