Programmable command formats reference
Programmable Command Formats (PCFs) define command and reply messages that can be exchanged between a program and any queue manager (that supports PCFs) in a network. PCFs simplify queue manager administration and other network administration.
For an introduction to PCFs, see Introduction to Programmable Command Formats.
For the full list of PCFs, see Definitions of the Programmable Command Formats.
PCF commands and responses have a consistent structure including of a header and any number of parameter structures of defined types. For information about these structures, see Structures for commands and responses.
For an example PCF, see PCF example.

The compiled program, written in C language, in the example uses IBM MQ for Windows. It inquires of the default queue manager about a subset of the attributes for all local queues defined to it. It then produces an output file, SAVEQMGR.TST, in the directory from which it was run for use with RUNMQSC.
