Information

On OS/400, MVMA sends the following commands via a 'system' call.

This is the first command, to ensure the subsystem is active: 'STRSBS SBSD(QMQM/QMQM)'

To start the queue manager, this command is sent: 'STRMQM MQQNAME(%QMGR%)'

To stop the queue manager, this command is sent: 'ENDMQM MQQNAME(%QMGR%) | %options%'"
