v The STRMQMMQSC command on OS/400
v The runmqsc command on Compaq (DIGITAL) OpenVMS, OS/2 Warp, Tandem
NSK, UNIX systems, and Windows NT
When you do this, follow these rules:
v Each command must start on a new line.
v On each platform, there might be platform-specific rules about the line length
and record format. If scripts are to be readily portable to different platforms, the
significant length of each line should be restricted to 72 characters.
– On OS/390, scripts are held in a fixed-format data set, with a record length of
80. Only columns 1 through 72 can contain meaningful information; columns
73 through 80 are ignored.
– On AIX, HP-UX, OS/2 Warp, OS/400, Sun Solaris, and Windows NT, each
line can be of any length up to the maximum allowed for your platform.
– On other UNIX systems, and Compaq (DIGITAL) OpenVMS, each line can be
of any length up to and including 80 characters.
– On Tandem NSK each line can be of any length up to and including 72
characters.
v A line must not end in a keyboard control character (for example, a tab).
v If the last nonblank character on a line is:
– A minus sign (−), this indicates that the command is to be continued from the
start of the next line.
– A plus sign (+), this indicates that the command is to be continued from the
first nonblank character in the next line. If you use + to continue a command
remember to leave at least one blank before the next parameter (except on
OS/390 where this is not necessary).
Either of these can occur within a parameter, data value, or quoted string. For
example,
'Fr+
ed'
and
'Fr-
ed'
(where the ‘e’ of the second line of the second example is in the first position of
the line) are both equivalent to
'Fred'
MQSC commands that are contained within an Escape PCF (Programmable
Command Format) command cannot be continued in this way. The entire
command must be contained within a single Escape command. (For information
about the PCF commands, see the MQSeries Programmable System Management
manual.)
v + and − values used at the ends of lines are discarded when the command is
reassembled into a single string.
v On AIX, HP-UX, OS/2 Warp, OS/400, Sun Solaris, and Windows NT you can
use a semicolon character (;) to terminate a command, even if you have entered
a + character at the end of the previous line. You can also use the semicolon in
the same way on OS/390 for commands issued from the CSQUTIL batch utility
program.
