Building your procedural application on AIX

The AIX® publications describe how to build executable applications from the programs that you write.

This topic describes the additional tasks, and the changes to the standard tasks, that you must perform when building IBM® MQ for AIX applications to run under AIX. C, C++, and COBOL are supported. For information about preparing your C++ programs, see Using C++.

The tasks that you must perform to create an executable application using IBM MQ for AIX vary with the programming language that your source code is written in. In addition to coding the MQI calls in your source code, you must add the appropriate language statements to include the IBM MQ for AIX include files for the language that you are using. Make yourself familiar with the contents of these files. See IBM MQ data definition files for a full description.

When you run threaded server or threaded client applications, set the environment variable AIXTHREAD_SCOPE=S.
