Specifying an MQ manager or queue

Many File Manager panels allow you to specify the name of an MQ manager or queue that you wish to use for the current process.

Where allowed, you specify the name of the MQ manager or queue in the data set name field in the form:
MQ:managerid:queuename
Where:
managerid
The ID of the MQ manager (the 4-character subsystem ID).
queuename
The name of a queue managed by that manager.

If you enter a pattern, when the Entry panel is processed, File Manager displays a selection list allowing you to select a manager or a queue.

Patterns can contain a percent sign (%) to represent a single character, and an asterisk (*) to represent any number of characters within one qualifier. Two asterisks (**) represent any number of characters within any number of qualifiers.
