Issue IBM MQ commands from a MainView AutoOPERATOR terminal session

MQ commands can be issued from the command line in a MainView AutoOPERATOR terminal session by specifying a special command character followed by the IBM MQ command.

The following list describes the limitation and requirements for issuing IBM MQ commands from the command line:

The commands are only valid for z/OS queue managers.
A one- to four-character queue manager ID must be specified in the target field. In addition, this means that a queue manager ID must be specified in BBPARM member BBIJNT00 or an error will occur.
The command must be prefixed by the at sign (@) character.
The command can be a maximum length of 46 characters.
The output from the command will be written to the BBI Journal.

The following example shows an example of issuing an IBM MQ command from the command line of the BBI Journal:

Line        2,082  Log  #1   Status  INPUT    Time  20:10:31 INTV===> 3

The following example shows an example of the output from the IBM MQ command:

In the above example, 0001 to the right of the QA6004I message is a number used to correlate the command with the output in the BBI journal. If you scroll the screen to the left as follows you will see the correlation number for the output, along with the queue manager ID (in this case the queue manager ID is JBQ). See the example below.
