Often the user wants to know. All messages are queued. That is the first thing that happens to them. I think the question you are asking is "how can I see why a message has not been dequeued". That is "why hasn't it left the queue and gone to wherever it is supposed to go". Currently the only way to answer that question is to look at the .LOG file for the channel in PMDF_ROOT:[LOG] (for example, if queued in [QUEUE.MTCP_LOCAL] look in MTCP_LOCAL_MASTER.LOG. You should see error messages in there that occur when the channel program processes the messages. Enabling "master_debug" for the channel by adding that keyword to the channel definition line in PMDF_ROOT:[TABLE]PMDF.CNF may provide additional information around the error to help figure out the problem. In PMDF V4.2 we improve this a lot by logging the failures with the message. /Kevin Carosso Innosoft
