Built-in formats

 

These include:

• Messages that are all characters (using the format name MQFMT_STRING)

• WebSphere MQ defined messages, for example Programmable Command Formats

  WebSphere MQ uses Programmable Command Format messages for administration messages and events (the format name used is MQFMT_ADMIN in this case). We can use the same format (using the format name MQFMT_PCF) for your own messages, and take advantage of the built-in data conversion.

The queue manager built-in formats all have names beginning with MQFMT. They are listed and described in the Application Programming Reference under the Format field of the Message descriptor (MQMD).
