SHAREDQ=xxx parameter for procedures

Use the SHAREDQ=xxx parameter in procedure to specify a 3-character suffix for the shared queues IMS.PROCLIB member, DFSSQxxx. There is no default for this parameter, it must be explicitly specified.

For more information about the parameters to specify for the DFSSQxxx member, see DFSSQxxx member of the IMS PROCLIB data set.

Note: All of the parameters that are valid in the DFSSQxxx member of the IMS PROCLIB data set are valid in the DFSDFxxx member of the IMS PROCLIB data set.

If you specify values in both the DFSSQxxx member and the shared-queues section of the DFSDFxxx member, the values specified in the DFSSQxxx member of the IMS PROCLIB data set override the values specified in the DFSDFxxx member. If you specify all your shared-queues values in the DFSDFxxx member, you can delete the DFSSQxxx member.

When you specify this parameter, IMS uses the Common Queue Server (CQS) to place messages on the shared queues that reside in a coupling facility structure. If you do not specify this parameter, messages are placed on the message queue data sets.
