Usage notes

  1. We cannot format page sets that belong to a queue manager that is still running.

  2. When you use FORMAT, it is not necessary to specify a queue manager name.

  3. If you use data set names in which the queue manager name is a high-level qualifier, we can more easily identify which page sets are used by which queue manager, if more than one queue manager is defined.

  4. Any update to a resource due to the resolution of an incomplete unit of work, where the update relates to a page on a page set that has been formatted with TYPE(REPLACE) or TYPE(NEW), is not honored. The update to the resource is lost.

  5. If there is an error when formatting a page set, it does not prevent other page sets from being formatted, although the FORMAT function is considered to have failed.

  6. Failure of this function does not prevent other CSQUTIL functions being attempted.
