QMF global variable tables
The callable interface global variable names can be up
to 18 characters long. Callable interface users can use either the
old (eight character) names or the new (18 character) names; however,
using the new names is recommended. Command interface users must use
the old names.
The new naming convention is DSQcc_xxxxxxxxxxxx
