Command to delete messages from a queue

The amqsget or amqsgetc commands can be used to clear all the messages in a queue: each

messages deleted after it is read. There is another way to delete all the messages in the queue.

Actually, it is faster because the messages are not read. However, only an MQ Administrator can use

this method because it is done under the runmqsc command.
