DSQSSPQN (specifying the name of the CICS spill storage)

Parameter name

DSQSSPQN

Short form

(no short form)

Valid values

Any name that follows CICS naming conventions for queues

Default

DSQSnnnn (nnnn is the CICS terminal ID)

When you use a spill file, you can also specify a name for the CICS temporary storage queue to use for QMF spill data. For example, to specify the name MYDATA:

QMFn DSQSSPQN=MYDATA

If you start a noninteractive QMF session from within a CICS application and choose not to specify a CICS terminal ID, you need to code the DSQSSPQN parameter. You must explicitly specify a value for DSQSSPQN, or QMF does not start.
