Description (DESCR)

This attribute describes the channel definition and contains up to 64 bytes of text.

Note: The maximum number of characters is reduced if the system is using a double byte character set (DBCS).

Use characters from the character set identified by the coded character set identifier (CCSID) for the queue manager to ensure that the text is translated correctly if it is sent to another queue manager.

This attribute is valid for all channel types.
