After the user updated the posting, I recognized the code as mine (MQWrite.java) that I wrote back in 2000 (Yup, 16 years ago!!).

June 16, 2016 Roger Lacroix

Here’s an interesting head-scratcher. I was writing some Java code to handle an MQ message and in this particular case, it was an MQRFH2 message.
