Changes to dspmqver output

From IBM® WebSphere® MQ 7.1 onwards, new types of information are displayed by dspmqver to support multiple installations. The changes might affect existing administrative scripts that you have written to manage a release of IBM WebSphere MQ before IBM WebSphere MQ 7.1.

The changes in output from dspmqver that might affect existing command scripts that you have written are as follows:
  1. Version 7.1 onwards has extra -f field options. If you do not specify a -f option, output from all the options is displayed. To restrict the output to the same information that was displayed in earlier releases, set the -f option to a value that was present in the earlier release. Compare the output for dspmqver in Figure 1 and Figure 2 with the output for dspmqver f 15 in Figure 3.
