VMS Mailboxes are also defined in the dictionary and delete their own data
once read.
MPE Message files and Unix pipes are externally defined.

My understanding is that DQ's are a bit smarter than VMS mailboxes
(don't know about the others !)
DQ's are defined in the PH dictionary and are 'proper' files with fields
etc and can be written and read to normally.
The thing that sets them apart from normal DB files is that they are
self deleting - the act of reading each record in them (with Quick, Quiz
or QTP) deletes it with no other programming overhead.
cheers
Richard

Unique to the AS/400?
Sounds like vms mailboxes, mpe msg files and unix pipes to me :-)
