Process name (PRCNAME)

The name of the process definition to be changed.

The possible values are:

process-name: Specify the name of the process definition. The maximum length of the string is 48 bytes.

Message Queue Manager name (MQMNAME)

Specifies the name of the queue manager.

The possible values are:

*DFT: Use the default queue manager.
queue-manager-name: The name of a message queue manager.

Application type (APPTYPE)

The type of application started.

The possible values are:

*CICS: Represents a CICS®/400 application.
*DEF: Specifying DEF causes the default application type for the platform at which the command is interpreted to be stored in the process definition. This default cannot be changed by the installation. If the platform supports clients, the default is interpreted as the default application type of the server.
integer: User-defined application type in the range 65536 through 999999999.
*OS400: Represents an IBM i application.
