This is the date when the definition was last changed. The format of the date is YYYY-MM-DD, padded with two trailing blanks to make the length 12 bytes (for example, 1992-09-23¬¬, where ¬¬ represents two blank characters).

The values of certain attributes (for example, CurrentQDepth) change as the queue manager operates. Changes to these attributes do not affect AlterationDate.

To determine the value of this attribute, use the MQCA_ALTERATION_DATE selector with the MQINQ call. The length of this attribute is given by MQ_DATE_LENGTH.
