2085, 2033, 2009, arghhhh!

Have you ever had an MQ application give an error message with a four digit code like '2085', or '2033' and wished you could quickly find out what the problem was?

Try this:

Pull up a command window (or unix shell prompt) and type:

mqrc 2085

Hey presto:

C:\Documents and Settings\brownr1>mqrc 2085

2085 0x00000825 MQRC_UNKNOWN_OBJECT_NAME

If you want more information on a message, the cross-platform MQ books are here:

and the error messages book, in particular, is here:
