Documentation keyword

The DOC keyword identifies problems caused by incorrect or missing information in a WebSphere MQ manual. It is possible that a documentation problem could be detected when trying to resolve problems with messages, incorrect output, and performance.

Use the following procedure if we need to use the DOC keyword in your keyword string:

1. Locate the incomplete or erroneous information. Note the page, or topic number, and describe the error and the resulting problem.

2. Add the document number, hyphens omitted, to your keyword string, in one of the formats shown below (in this example, the document number for this manual (GC34-6600-00) is used):

   Free format

   5655L8200 R600 DOC GC34660000

   Structured format

   PIDS/5655L8200 LVLS/600 PUBS/GC34660000

   Turn to Searching the IBM database.

   If your search is unsuccessful, follow Step 3.

3. Broaden your search by replacing the last two digits with two asterisks (**). This searches for all problems on that document, rather than on a specific release of the document.

   Free format

   5655L8200 R600 DOC GC346600**

   Structured format

   PIDS/5655L8200 LVLS/600 PUBS/GC346600**

   If your search is unsuccessful, follow Step 4.

4. If the problem is severe, consider initiating a DOC APAR. Use the information gathered in Step 1, and turn to Resolving a problem.

5. If the problem is less severe, include your suggestions on the Readers' Comment Form in the back of that manual, or send it electronically as described at the back of the manual. Include your name and address if you want a reply.

   Corrections resulting from readers' comments are included in future editions of the manual but are not included in the software support database.
