COBOL copybooks

 

This section provides you with information in relation to the changes to the COBOL copybooks supplied with WebSphere MQ V6.0.

Due to the size of structures with pointers growing on 64-bit platforms, the lengths defined in some of the COBOL copybooks supplied with earlier versions of WebSphere MQ are incorrect for 64-bit applications. Updated COBOL copybooks are being supplied with WebSphere MQ V6.0 as follows:
