This is a plain-text comment that provides descriptive information about the service definition. It should contain only displayable characters.
If characters are used that are not in the coded character set identifier (CCSID) for the queue manager on which the command is executing, they might be translated incorrectly.

Specify either:

- MQSVC_TYPE_COMMAND
- Multiple instances of the service can be started.
- StartArguments (MQCFST)
- Arguments to be passed to the program on startup (parameter identifier: MQCA_SERVICE_START_ARGS).
Specify each argument within the string as you would on a command line, with a space to separate each argument to the program.
The maximum length of the string is MQ_SERVICE_ARGS_LENGTH.
- StartCommand (MQCFST)
- Service program name (parameter identifier: MQCA_SERVICE_START_COMMAND).
Specifies the name of the program which is to run. You must specify a fully qualified path name to the executable program.
The maximum length of the string is MQ_SERVICE_COMMAND_LENGTH.

- StderrDestination (MQCFST)
- Specifies the path to a file to which the standard error (stderr) of the service program should be redirected (parameter identifier: MQCA_STDERR_DESTINATION).
If the file does not exist when the service program is started, the file is created.
The maximum length of the string is MQ_SERVICE_PATH_LENGTH.
- StdoutDestination (MQCFST)
