QMgrDesc (64-byte character string) on IBM i

Queue manager description.

This is a field that can be used for descriptive commentary. The content of the field is of no significance to the queue manager, but the queue manager might require that the field contain only characters that can be displayed. It cannot contain any null characters; if necessary, it is padded to the right with blanks. In a DBCS installation, this field can contain DBCS characters (subject to a maximum field length of 64 bytes).

Note: If this field contains characters that are not in the queue manager's character set (as defined by the CodedCharSetId queue manager attribute), those characters might be translated incorrectly if this field is sent to another queue manager.

On IBM i, the default value is blanks.

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