    We have a workaround for this situation which is as follows:
    Two configuration files can be used: MQQUEUEINFO.TXT and MQQUEUEMGRINFO.TXT, please find them attached here.
    - In MQQUEUEINFO file on the left side, the program name is specified, in the middle the variable that is used in MQ call is specified, and on the right side, the QUEUE Name is specified.
    - In MQQUEUEMGRINFO file on the left side, the program name is specified, in the middle the variable that is used in MQ call is specified, and on the right side, the QUEUE MANAGER Name is specified.

    The files will be added in the MQ virtual folder, in the project, with type MQ.

    As far as we understand your use case, the MQ parameters are passed from Main program to the subprogram and then Main program call the subprogram.

    PROGRAM-A create MQ queue name dynamically and then call PROGRAM-B where there is a MQ call (MQOPEN for example).
    In order to understand your use case better and see how we could improve our Cobol compiler, would it be possible to get we those 2 programs (and their Includes if MQ variables are declared there) or snipped source code that could highlight the following:
    - How PROGRAM-A creates MQ queue names;
    - How IMSGETID is populated with values and where, in which program;
    - How MQ variables are defined in PROGRAM-A and PROGRAM-B;
    - How the "CALL PROGRAM-B" statement is made, what parameters are used;
    - How the "PROCEDURE DIVISION" statement is defined in PROGRAM-A and PROGRAM-B.
