QBUF= parameter for procedures

Use the QBUF= parameter in procedure to specify the 1- to 4-digit number of message queue buffers in subpool 0 to be allocated to the queue pool.

In the shared-queues environment, the number you specify for QBUF= is used as the initial number of message queue buffers allocated to the queue pool. The number of message queue buffers is dynamically expandable in the shared-queues environment. The maximum number you can specify is 9999. If you specify a number lower than 200, or if you do not specify a value, the number defaults to the value that is generated during system definition for the BUFFERS= parameter of the MSGQUEUE macro, or 200, whichever is greater.
