Using one Message Handle for several MQ message cause memory leaks?

Viewed 134

Has anyone worked with MQ from RPG? The problem is as follows. There are several messages in the queue. All of them are with RFH2 header. Each header contains a set of NameValueData. I am creating a Message Handle and passing it to MQGET. Then I retrieve Properties using MQINQMP. Question. When I read several messages in a loop, using the same Message Handle instance for all (without freeing it and re-creating it for each message), will I have memory leaks?

The IBM MQ Message Properties API is designed to be used in the following way.

MQOPEN
MQCRTMH

start-loop

MQGET
MQINQMP

end-loop

MQCLOSE
MQDLTMH

You can see this demonstrated in the IBM supplied 'C' sample amqsbcg0.c. I know your question is for RPG, but the underlying API is meant to work the same for all languages.
