PCF command for storage class

Postby mvsfan » Thu Apr 07, 2011 1:44 am

Hi, I'm trying to use a PCF command to inquire and list storage classes and the associated queues. Any lead on this is appreciated.

Thnx.

I have no idea what PCF is - a vendor product?

unless striking missposting evidence is given it is wiser to give the TS the benefit of doubt!
a quick and dirty google search for "PCF IBM" would have shown that
PCF is the acronym for Programmable Command Format
as described here
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocente ... 11570_.htm
For a complete description of the PCF data structures and how to implement them, see WebSphere MQ Programmable Command Formats and Administration Interface.

Enricho, I assumed that this had something to do with ISMF and storage classes therein, that is why I had no idea what he was talking about. Besides that, why should I go searching because the poster is to lazy to explain what type of environment the question is related to?

It is obviously related to Websphere MQ as that is the section that he posted in.

OK OK I know a load of people just stick their posts into any old section but in this case, not being overly familiar with MQ, I looked in my manuals and found PCF.
The problem I have is that people can explain things quickly but I can only comprehend slowly.
Regards
Nic

nobody asked You to carry on any search :evil:
if You did not know what the TS is talking about no reason to clobber the topic with useless considerations

looks also like You did not care to read my comment
