These utilities are located in the thlqual.SCSQAUTH or thlqual.SCSQLOAD IBM MQ load libraries. Concatenate the appropriate IBM MQ language load library thlqual.SCSQANLx (where x is the language letter) in the STEPLIB with the thlqual.SCSQAUTH and thlqual.SCSQLOAD. The utility control statements are available only in U.S. English. In some cases, the Db2 library db2qual.SDSNLOAD is also needed.
