Using C client libraries from Websphere MQ in OpenEdge on Unix

[RealHeavyDude]

Sun Solaris 64Bit, OpenEdge 10.1CSP3

I need to post messages into a Websphere MQ queue and recieve the response. I know that there are several client libraries available that come with the Websphere MQ installation which allow for example a C client to do this. I know that because the current implementation is done in writing an input file to a C program which produces the corresponding output file .

AFAIK it should be possible to use those client libraries on Unix just like you would use them on Windoze in defining them as external procedure. Does somebody have experience with that? Does it really work?

Any thoughts are appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
RealHeavyDude.

If the C code is available as a shared library it is fairly easy and straightforward to call from 4GL.

I'm giving a presentation on the topic at PUG Challenge in a couple of weeks
