Error description

• The runmqsc administration tool is not able to correctly filter
  on the CHANNEL, APPLTAG or CONNAME attributes when using the
  'DISPLAY QSTATUS(*) TYPE(HANDLE)' command.
  
  This restriction also applies to the equivalent PCF commands
  when attempting to filter on these attributes.
  
  For example:
  5 : dis qs(TESTQ) type(handle) all
  AMQ8450: Display queue status details.
  QUEUE(TESTQ)                            TYPE(HANDLE)
  APPLTAG(amqsputc)                       APPLTYPE(USER)
  BROWSE(NO)                              CHANNEL(CHANNEL1)
  CONNAME(127.0.0.1)                      HSTATE(INACTIVE)
  INPUT(SHARED)                           INQUIRE(YES)
  OUTPUT(NO)                              PID(12345)
  QMURID(12345)                           SET(NO)
  TID(12345)
  URID(XA_FORMATID[00000000] XA_GTRID[] XA_BQUAL[])
  URTYPE(QMGR)                            USERID(user1)
  
  dis qs(TESTQ) type(handle) where(CHANNEL eq 'CHANNEL1')
  6 : dis qs(TESTQ) type(handle) where(CHANNEL eq 'CHANNEL1')
  AMQ8565: Queue status not found.
  dis qs(TESTQ) type(handle) where(APPLTAG eq 'amqsputc')
  7 : dis qs(TESTQ) type(handle) where(APPLTAG eq 'amqsputc')
  AMQ8565: Queue status not found.
  dis qs(TESTQ) type(handle) where(CONNAME eq '127.0.0.1')
  8 : dis qs(TESTQ) type(handle) where(CONNAME eq '127.0.0.1')
  AMQ8565: Queue status not found.
  

Local fix

• Blank pad the filter to the maximum length of the string. For
  example blank pad to 20 characters for filtering on the
  channel name:
  DISPLAY QSTATUS(*) TYPE(HANDLE) CHANNEL('abc                 ')
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  Users who take advantage of attribute filtering (RUNMQSC or PCF)
  on QSTATUS TYPE(HANDLE) for the attributes CHANNEL, APPLTAG and
  CONNAME.
  
  Platforms affected:
  All Distributed (iSeries, all Unix and Windows)
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM SUMMARY:
  The problem was caused by MQ storing the data for these
  attributes using one type of string padding for trailing blanks
  and trying to compare with the filter using another type of
  padding.  This inconsistency resulted in match failures when
  these particular attributes were filtered on as their padding
  was interpreted as a difference in the strings.
  

Problem conclusion

• The code was corrected to use the right sort of padding for
  these attributes so that they could be filtered on.
  
  A workaround for this problem is to pad the filter string out to
  the maximum length of the string with spaces.  For example:
  
  instead of:
  
  dis qs(TESTQ) type(handle) where(CHANNEL eq 'CHANNEL1')
  
  use this instead (note the channel filter is padded to 20
  characters):
  
  dis qs(TESTQ) type(handle) where(CHANNEL eq
  'CHANNEL1            ')
