Inquiring about the attributes of an object

This example demonstrates how to use the MQINQ call to inquire about the attributes of a queue.

This extract is taken from the Queue Attributes sample application (program CSQ4CVC1) supplied with IBM MQ for z/OS . For the names and locations of the sample applications on other platforms, see Sample procedural programs (platforms except z/OS ).
