Use MQSC commands interactively

 

To use MQSC commands interactively, open a command window or shell and enter:

runmqsc

In this command, a queue manager name has not been specified, so the MQSC commands are processed by the default queue manager. If you want to use a different queue manager, specify the queue manager name on the runmqsc command. For example, to run MQSC commands on queue manager jupiter.queue.manager, use the command:

runmqsc jupiter.queue.manager

After this, all the MQSC commands you type in are processed by this queue manager, assuming that it is on the same node and is already running.

Now we can type in any MQSC commands, as required. For example, try this one:

DEFINE QLOCAL (ORANGE.LOCAL.QUEUE)

For commands that have too many parameters to fit on one line, use continuation characters to indicate that a command is continued on the following line:

• A minus sign (-) indicates that the command is to be continued from the start of the following line.

• A plus sign (+) indicates that the command is to be continued from the first nonblank character on the following line.

Command input terminates with the final character of a nonblank line that is not a continuation character. We can also terminate command input explicitly by entering a semicolon (;). (This is especially useful if you accidentally enter a continuation character at the end of the final line of command input.)
