COBOL programming

This section contains information to help we use the MQI from the COBOL programming language.

• COPY files
  Various COPY files are provided to help you write COBOL application programs that use the MQI. There are two files containing named constants, and two files for each of the structures.
• Structures
  
• Pointers
  Some structures need to address optional data that might be discontiguous with the structure, such as the MQOR and MQRR records addressed by the MQOD structure.
• Named constants
  
• Notational conventions
