On of my customers was writing a script to detect when the last message was got from an MQ QUEUE.

DISPLAY DISPLAY QSTATUS(<queue name>)  TYPE(HANDLE) CONNAME

The above runmqsc command returns something similar to

DISPLAY QSTATUS(SOURCE.Q) TYPE(HANDLE) CONNAME
AMQ8450I: Display queue status details.
   QUEUE(SOURCE.Q)                         TYPE(HANDLE)
   CONNAME(10.131.1.20)                
AMQ8450I: Display queue status details.
   QUEUE(SOURCE.Q)                         TYPE(HANDLE)
   CONNAME(10.129.3.151)

The above shows just the connames that are connected to a queue.

The conname and channel name can then be put into the following runmqsc command

DISPLAY CHSTATUS(<channel name>) CONNAME(<conname>) LSTMSGDA LSTMSGTI

This returns the following.


DISPLAY CHSTATUS(TEST.CHAN) CONNAME(10.131.1.23) LSTMSGDA LSTMSGTI
AMQ8417I: Display Channel Status details.
   CHANNEL(TEST.CHAN)                      CHLTYPE(SVRCONN)
   CONNAME(10.131.1.23)                    CURRENT
   LSTMSGDA(2025-10-10)                    LSTMSGTI(14.57.01)
   STATUS(RUNNING)                         SUBSTATE(RECEIVE)

The LSTMSGDA and LSTMSGTI provide the date and time for the last GET from the queue.

Thanks to the MQ Support team in putting this together
