A READ_EQCONTROLS request allows you to retrieve control information about your event queue. The information is returned in the answer area (ANSAREA).

You can issue a READ_EQCONTROLS request only for keyed list structures allocated in a coupling facility of CFLEVEL=3 or higher. READ_EQCONTROLS requests issued for a list structure allocated in a coupling facility of CFLEVEL=0, 1, or 2 will fail.
