Desc (MQCHAR64)

 

Channel description.

This is a field that may be used for descriptive commentary. The content of the field is of no significance to Message Channel Agents. However, it should 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).

If this field contains characters that are not in the queue manager’s character set (as defined by the CodedCharSetId queue manager attribute), those characters may be translated incorrectly if this field is sent to another queue manager.

The length of this field is given by MQ_CHANNEL_DESC_LENGTH.
