EBCDIC Code Pages and Square Brackets

November 29, 2022 Roger Lacroix

Back in the previous millennium, I created a set of simple routines for handling initialization files (section & parameters) that worked all platforms. i.e. Windows, Linux, Unix, IBM i (OS/400) and z/OS (mainframe). And over the years, the routines have worked well on any platform I tested them on. i.e. Sample initialization file The problem […]

A couple of days ago, I posted a Java/PCF program that would create a IBM MQ channel. So, if you require creating a channel via Java/PCF then you probably will need to delete a channel via Java/PCF. If you are used to deleting an IBM MQ channel using runmqsc command then the following simple Java/PCF […]

Java/PCF Program to Create an IBM MQ Queue

May 3, 2022 Roger Lacroix

The other day, someone on StackOverflow asked about creating an IBM MQ queue from JMS. I know it is possible to send PCF commands as a JMS message to the Command Server but it seems overly complex when you can simply do it from Java/PCF (non-JMS). If you are used to creating an IBM MQ […]

I thought about it and figured it would be reasonably straight forward. Hence, here are the JVM Environment variables that the SimpleLogger Class supports: SimpleLogger.LogFileName – any valid file name SimpleLogger.LogDirectory – […]
