Desc (MQCHAR64)

This field can be used for descriptive commentary.

The content of the field is of no significance to Message Channel Agents. However, it must 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, the 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 character set of the queue manager (as defined by the CodedCharSetId queue manager attribute), those characters might be translated incorrectly if this field is sent to another queue manager.

The length of this field is given by MQ_CHANNEL_DESC_LENGTH.
