Some time ago I was in a middle of resolving an interesting issue in PyMQI while I found myself in a need of a clear example of how to use WebSphere MQ’s MQSUBRQ in C. Yea, in C this time, not in Python. I needed something that wouldn’t have been obscured by stuff like parsing of command line options or you know, anything that painfully reminds you how low-level C really is.

So I wrote the code and thought I shouldn’t be really keeping it for myself, maybe someone else will need it some day as well. Hence I’ve uploaded it all to my bitbucket repo, and if you need the sample code for MQCONNX, MQPUT, MQSUB, MQSUBRQ and then, finally, an MQGET then here it is, enjoy!

And while I have your attention – you do know there’s PyMQI, the Python interface to WebSphere MQ, don’t you? So if one shiny beautiful day you find yourself weary of C then you are more than welcome to give PyMQI and Python a try!
