v A line starting with an asterisk (*) in the first position is ignored. This can be

used to insert comments into the file.

A blank line is also ignored.

If a line ends with a continuation character (− or +), the command continues

with the next line that is not a comment line or a blank line.

Rules for naming MQSeries objects

MQSeries queue, process, namelist, channel, and storage class objects exist in

separate object name spaces, and so objects from each type can all have the same

name. However, an object cannot have the same name as any other object in the

same name space. (For example, a local queue cannot have the same name as a

model queue.) Names in MQSeries are case sensitive; however, you should

remember that lowercase characters that are not contained within quotation marks

are folded to uppercase.

The character set that can be used for naming all MQSeries objects is as follows:

v Uppercase A–Z

v Lowercase a–z (however, on systems using EBCDIC Katakana you cannot use

lowercase characters, and there are also restrictions on the use of lowercase

letters for OS/390 console support)

v Numerics 0–9

v Period (.)

v Forward slash (/)

v Underscore (_)

v Percent sign (%). The percent sign (%) is a special character to RACF

. If you are

using RACF as the external security manager for MQSeries for OS/390, you

should not use % in object names. If you do, these names are not included in

any security checks when RACF generic profiles are used.

Notes:

1. Leading or embedded blanks are not allowed.

2. You should avoid using names with leading or trailing underscores, because

they cannot be handled by the MQSeries for OS/390 operations and control

panels.

3. Any name that is less than the full field length can be padded to the right with

blanks. All short names that are returned by the queue manager are always

padded to the right with blanks.

4. Any structure to the names (for example, the use of the period or underscore)

is not significant to the queue manager.

5. When using CL commands or menus on AS/400 systems, lowercase a-z,

forward slash (/), and percent (%) are special characters. If you use any of

these characters in a name, the name must be enclosed in quotation marks.

Lowercase a-z characters are changed to uppercase if the name is not enclosed

in quotation marks.

Queue names

Queues can have names up to 48 characters long.
