This is a list of TSO transmitted datasets that contain code for 'unloading' onto
a z/OS system.
The files should be file transferred to the target z/OS system as binary
files. Failure to transfer them as binary will result in a corrupt z/OS copy
of the file. File transfer is best carried out from the TSO READY prompt or the
ISPF option 6 screen.
The usual disclaimers apply to all our code samples (including the MACROs).
Once the file is on the z/OS it will have to be received. To do this you use
the TSO RECEIVE command:
As always you are free to use this code but the usual disclaimers apply.
By downloading code from this page you agree to the terms of the disclaimer.

| Reads a message from a message queue and write the same message back to the reply queue This program is distributed as a TSO TRANSMIT file. The program is distributed as OCO (Object Code Only). The file will need to be transferred to a z/OS system in binary format and then RECEIVED. Link to information page click here.

| QMGRWAIT is a little assembler program that can be called whenever an MQ enabled program detects a MQ Reason code of 2161 (Queue Manager is Quiescing) is returned from a MQ API (Application Program Interface) call. All well-behaving MQ enabled programs must handle non-zero return codes in a manner that applies to the application requirements, but a return code of 2161 requires special handling. QMGRWAIT will issue a write to operator with reply (WTOR) letting the operator know that the calling job is trying to access a queue manager that is quiescing (closing down). However, if you don't want a WTOR to be issued in can issue a non-delete write to operator (WTO) instead. The options available are:
