MQGem Software is pleased to announce that the Q Utility, is now available natively on z/OS.
Back when Q was a SupportPac, it was available on the z/OS platform, and we are pleased to be able to once again provide it on z/OS.
Q has evolved somewhat from the days when it was a SupportPac, and there have been a number of features added since then. These features are now also available natively on z/OS. Some of the highlights of those additional features include:
- New help features
To make it easier to find the option you are looking for since the Q program does have a lot of flags! - Minor flag enhancements
See Announcing Q from MQGem for full details. - Message formatters added
Formatters for JSON, EDIFACT, CSV and FIX message formats have been added. - Character substitution
This will display text such as > as the character ‘>’. - New message summary display
Get a one line summary of the messages on your queue. See Q version 9.2.0 is released for an example of this and a few other formatting enhancements.
To enable Q to run on z/OS you require a z/OS specific licence. A distributed platform Q licence will not enable Q on z/OS to run.
You can download Q for z/OS from the Q Download Page. If you’d like to try out Q on z/OS, please email support@mqgem.com and a 1-month trial licence will be sent to you.
