Using the Query Management Facility (QMF)

The z/OS® XL C/C++ compiler's support of the Query Management Facility (QMF) interface, a query and report writing facility, enables you to write applications through the SAA callable interface. You can create applications to perform a variety of tasks such as data entry, query building, administration aids, and report analysis.

The z/OS XL C++ compiler itself does not support QMF™. However, QMF can be accessed through C code that is statically or dynamically called from C++.

You must include the header file DSQCOMMC.H (provided with the QMF application), which contains the function and structure definitions necessary to use the QMF interface.

For information on how to write your z/OS XL C/C++ applications with the QMF interface, see the appropriate QMF manual, which is available at:

Notes:
  1. AMODE 64 applications are not supported by QMF.
  2. XPLINK is not supported by QMF.
