Building your application on z/OS

 

The CICS, IMS™, and z/OS publications describe how to build applications that run in these environments. This chapter describes the additional tasks, and the changes to the standard tasks, that perform when building WebSphere MQ for z/OS applications for these environments. COBOL, C, C++, Assembler, and PL/I programming languages are supported. (For information on building C++ applications see WebSphere MQ Using C++.)

The tasks that perform to create an executable WebSphere MQ for z/OS application depend on both the programming language that the program is written in, and the environment in which the application will run.

In addition to coding the MQI calls in your program, add the appropriate language statements to include the WebSphere MQ for z/OS data definition file for the language that you are using. Make yourself familiar with the contents of these files. See WebSphere MQ data definition files for a full description.

 

Note

The name thlqual is the high-level qualifier of the installation library on z/OS.
