2526 (09DE) (RC2526): MQRC_RETAINED_NOT_DELIVERED

Explanation

An MQSUB call which did not use the MQSO_NEW_PUBLICATIONS_ONLY option or an MQSUBRQ call, failed because the retained publications which exist for the topic string subscribed to cannot be delivered to the subscription destination queue and have subsequently failed to be delivered to the dead-letter queue.

When this return code occurs on an MQSUB call, it can only occur using the MQSO_CREATE option, and in this case the subscription is not created.

Completion code

MQCC_FAILED

Programmer response

Fix the problems with the destination queue and the dead-letter queue and re-issue the MQSUB or MQSUBRQ call.
