As ever, you use these free programs at your own risk.

Feel free to use the software on this site but please honor the copyright.

The following programs will return a list of any Queue managers that are running on the system. The z/OS versions use the Subsystem interface control blocks to find out the information regarding version, level and last PTF, however the information extracted pertains to the early load module CSQ3EPX. The version and level information will be the same as those reported in the queue manager job log.

Description

Assembler Source
for MQVER
This link will take you to a Zip file that contains the assembler source code for MQVER. This source code should be assembled specifying SYS1.MACLIB and SYS1.AMODGEN in the SYSLIB concatenation. If you have no idea what that means then you probably shouldn't be assembling it in the first place.:)

COBOL Source
for MQVERC
This link will take you to a zip file that contains the COBOL source code for MQVER.

REXX Source
for MQINF
This link will take you to a zip file that contains the REXX source code for MQINF. This should be placed into a dataset in the SYSEXEC concatenation, or called directly from the library that you place it in.

MQTEST program
This link will take you to a zip file that contains the VB.Net executable code for MQTEST.
MQTEST requires that you have the .NET framework installed on your PC. It will also require read access to the registry.

z/OS load library
This link will take you to a zip file that contains the z/OS load library containing the MQVER and MQVERC programs. This file should be unzipped and the TSO transmit file (MQVER.XMI) should be transferred to the z/OS system using a file transfer program. The file must be transferred as a BINARY file. Once the file is on z/OS it will have to be received. To do this you use the TSO RECEIVE command. The exact details on how to transfer this file are contained within the readme.txt file in the zip file.
