IFS queue manager name transformation

In WebSphere MQ, you can give a queue manager a name containing up to 48 characters.

For example, you can name a queue manager QUEUE/MANAGER/ACCOUNTING/SERVICES. In the same way that a library is created for each queue manager, each queue manager is also represented by a file. Because of variant codepoints in EBCDIC, there are limitations to the characters that can be used in the name. As a result, the names of IFS files representing objects are automatically transformed to meet the requirements of the file system.

Using the example of a queue manager with the name queue/manager, transforming the character / to &, and assuming the default prefix, the queue manager name in WebSphere MQ for iSeries becomes /QIBM/UserData/mqm/qmgrs/queue&manager.
