The following example is similar to Example: Creating a Procedure with Parameters and Local Variables, but performs a consume mode SELECT into a queue table. See SELECT AND CONSUME Statement.

    CREATE PROCEDURE spSampleQ(IN  ip INTEGER, 
                               OUT op INTEGER)
    BEGIN DECLARE qits   TIMESTAMP(6) DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP(6),
                  qsn    INTEGER GENERATED ALWAYS AS IDENTITY,
                  qcol_1 INTEGER,
                  qcol_2 INTEGER;
      SELECT AND CONSUME TOP 1 qits, qsn, qcol_1, qcol_2 
       INTO c_qits, c_qsn, c_qcol_1, c_qcol_2
      FROM qtab1e; 
    END;

You must specify an AND CONSUME TOP 1 phrase in your SELECT statement to consume rows from a queue table. The AND CONSUME keywords indicate that the request is a consume mode request, while TOP 1 indicates that the oldest row from the queue table is to be retrieved.
