Namelist properties
We can set attributes for namelists. Some of the attributes are specific to z/OS® namelists.
The following tables list the attributes that we can set:
For each attribute, there is a brief description of when you might need to configure the attribute. The tables also give the equivalent MQSC parameter for the ALTER NAMELIST and DISPLAY NAMELIST commands. For more information about MQSC commands, see Script (MQSC) Commands in the IBM MQ online product documentation.
