Wait and loop keywords

The keywords wait and loop can be used as part of a string for searching the IBM documentation and IBM software support database. This can assist in identifying known problems and resolutions.

If the problem occurred immediately after you did something an IBM MQ manual told you to do, the problem might be related to the documentation. If you think that this is the case, see Documentation keyword.

If we have verified that the wait or loop problem cannot be resolved through other means, use the following procedure:
  1. Add WAIT or LOOP to your keyword string, in one of the formats shown in this topic (in this example WAIT is used).

      Free format
      5655R3600 R710 WAIT

      Structured format
      PIDS/ 5655R3600 LVLS/ 710 WAIT

  2. See Searching the IBM database for similar problems, and solutions.
