To send data between applications, firstly the message data is placed in a bag. Then, the data in
the bag is converted into a PCF message using the mqBagToBuffer call. The PCF message is sent to the
required queue using the MQPUT call. This is shown in Figure Figure 1. For
a full description of the mqBagToBuffer call, see mqBagToBuffer.Figure 1. Converting bags to PCF messages
To receive data, the message is received into a buffer using the MQGET call. The data in the
buffer is then converted into a bag using the mqBufferToBag call, providing the buffer contains a
valid PCF message. This is shown in Figure Figure 2. For a full
description of the mqBufferToBag call, see mqBufferToBag.Figure 2. Converting PCF messages to bag formParent topic:Types of data item available in the MQAI
