DEFINE QMODEL

Use DEFINE QMODEL to define a new model queue, and set its parameters.

A model queue is not a real queue, but a collection of attributes that we can use when creating dynamic queues with the MQOPEN API call.

When it has been defined, a model queue (like any other queue) has a complete set of applicable attributes, even if some of these are defaults.
