Connecting to a queue manager

 

This example demonstrates how to use the MQCONN call to connect a program to a queue manager in z/OS batch. This extract is taken from the Browse sample application (program CSQ4BCA1) supplied with WebSphere MQ for z/OS. For the names and locations of the sample applications on other platforms, see Sample programs (all platforms except z/OS).
