MQ scripting

[WP]

Is it possible to parameterise an MQ script.

I'm running a environment setup script on an AS400. There are however many environments

What i'd like to do is pass the evnironment e.g.

DEFINE QALIAS(OLY.COD.A0000.TARGET.%ENV)
LIKE(SYSTEM.DEFAULT.ALIAS.QUEUE)
TARGQ(OLY.COD.L0000.TARGET.%ENV)
DEFPSIST(YES)
GET(ENABLED)
PUT(ENABLED)
REPLACE

Can this be done?

Many thanks WP Bill Paton

Unfortunately the MQSC command syntax is pretty limited - certain commands accept a '*' as a wildcard (at the end) but otherwise every parameter needs to be explicitly specified.

I once tried to do a similar thing on the AS/400 using global substitution within the source file but I never found an easy way to do it. Coming from a mainframe background, I wrote a small Rexx/400 program to create a temp file with my substitutions which I then passed to STRMQMMQSC to run.

Cheers,
Paul

I thought as much.

I mean why would anyone want to parameterise a script ? ) Bill Paton
