Using IMS Queue Control Facility

IMS Queue Control Facility functions are run using the ISPF panels or by issuing JCL job streams. Several server commands are specified with an MVS™ MODIFY command.

Most functions have control statement keywords with names similar to that of the function, and JCL steps. Functions, control statements, JCL, and subfunctions are described in the following topics.

Control statements, JCL, and subfunctions that are common to multiple functions are described first.

Some exit routines are replaceable because IMS Queue Control Facility user-exit routines are link-edited into the appropriate load modules. This is different from IMS, which loads its user exit routines.
