EBCDIC Code Pages and Square Brackets

Back in the previous millennium, I created a set of simple routines for handling initialization files (section & parameters) that worked all platforms. i.e. Windows, Linux, Unix, IBM i (OS/400) and z/OS (mainframe). And over the years, the routines have worked well on any platform I tested them on. i.e. Sample initialization file The problem […]

Java/PCF Program to Delete an IBM MQ Channel

A couple of days ago, I posted a Java/PCF program that would create a IBM MQ channel. So, if you require creating a channel via Java/PCF then you probably will need to delete a channel via Java/PCF. If you are used to deleting an IBM MQ channel using runmqsc command then the following simple Java/PCF […]
