IT35214: Setmqenv doesn't work in the default/dash shell

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Running the setmqenv command from a dash shell reports errors
  similar to the following:
  
  $ . ./setmqenv
  -su: 69: ./setmqenv: Bad substitution
  -su: 115: ./setmqenv: /../bin/mqrc: not found
  -su: 1: ./setmqenv: /../bin/crtmqenv: not found
  

Local fix

• Execute setmqenv within a bash shell
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  Users setting up an MQ environment using a dash shell
  
  
  Platforms affected:
  Linux on x86-64, Linux on zSeries, Linux on Power
  
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  The setmqenv script did not work when not sourced from a bash
  shell because it was unable to determine the installation path
  

Problem conclusion

• The setmqenv script has been updated to improve its ability to
  detect the installation location when running in a dash shell.
  In scenarios where the installation location cannot be
  determined, the script advises the user to set the
  LCL_MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH variable to reference the installation
  path and retry.
