Starting QMF without ISPF

To start QMF without ISPF, you can use an application program and the QMF callable interface, or you can use TSO CALL commands.

Procedure

  • To use an application program and the callable interface, enter the following statement: DSQQMFn DSQSSUBS=ssid,DSQSPLAN=planid, ...

    This command includes the following variables:

    n
    Use the appropriate 1-character language ID to start QMF in your NLF environment. For example, to start QMF in an English environment, the command is DSQQMFE.
    ssid
    The 4-character name of the Db2® for z/OS® subsystem where QMF Version 13.1 is installed.
    planid
    The name of the QMF application plan that is bound to the requester. The QMF Version 13.1 application plan ID is QMF1310.

    You can also specify additional values in place of the ellipsis shown.

  • To use TSO CALL commands, you can use a TSO CALL command to initialize QMF in the local Db2 for z/OS requester database.
    For example: 
    CALL 'QMF1310.SDSQLOAD(DSQQMFn)' 'DSQSSUBS=ssid,DSQSPLAN=planid,…'

    This command includes the following variables:

    QMF1310
    The default prefix for the QMF Version 13 Release 1 libraries. If you changed the default prefix for the QMF libraries, substitute that prefix in place of QMF1310.
