For an explanation of the symbols in the z/OS column, see Using commands in z/OS.

Use DEFINE BUFFPOOL to define a buffer pool that is used for holding messages in main storage. Specify DEFINE BUFFPOOL commands in a data set identified by the CSQINP1 DD concatenation in the queue manager started task procedure. These definitions are not retained so you must define them at each queue manager start using a data set referenced from CSQINP1.

Notes:
  1. You can use the DISPLAY USAGE TYPE(PAGESET) command to display buffer pool information (see DISPLAY USAGE).
  2. You can use the ALTER BUFPOOL command to dynamically add or remove buffers in a predefined buffer pool (see ALTER BUFFPOOL).
