Hi,

You can get count using MQSC command in SDSF but thats online command. In order for Program Automation you can send the MQSC cammand as input data and do a MQPUT on SYSTEM.COMMAND.QUEUE. In your MQMD dont forget to give reply_to_q so that you get the response in the reply q. So in your Reply q you will get the Count of the queue.

Note : For putting message to SYSTEM.COMMAND.QUEUE you need priviledges check up with your Admin.

Regards,
Vijay S

Sorry its not SYSTEM.COMMAND.QUEUE. Correct queue name is SYSTEM.COMMAND.INPUT. This Method will work only in ZOS.
