IT33572: amqspdbg with -i, -q, -p or -a options fails with an error and generates an FDC

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When using amqspdbg and specifying the -i, -q, -p and -a options
  then a runtime error is shown, for example:
  .
  0x00004401 Failed to attach to Ipcc QMGR subpool
  .
  
  2) An FDC is also generated.

Local fix

• If the queue manager name is mangled, e.g. MY!QM, then there is
  no workaround.  If the queue manager name is not mangled then an
  alternative is to use -1, -2, -3, 4 instead of -i, -q, -p, -a.
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  Users who are asked by IBM Support to use the amqspdbg command
  may encounter this problem.
  
  
  Platforms affected:
  MultiPlatform
  
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  A change in the way that queue manager details are looked up
  internally caused the amqspdbg command to fail to resolve
  mangled names.
  

Problem conclusion

• The code was modified so that queue managers with mangled names
  are found correctly.
