Maximum message length (MAXMSGLEN)

Specifies the maximum length for messages on the queue.

Note: If this value is subsequently reduced by using the CHGMQMQ command, any messages that are on the queue remain intact even if they exceed the new maximum length.

Applications might use the value of this attribute to determine the size of buffer they need to retrieve messages from the queue. Therefore change the value only if you know this will not cause an application to operate incorrectly.

The possible values are:

*SYSDFTQ

The value of this attribute is taken from the system default queue of the specified queue type.
