Channel states are displayed on the Work with Channels panel (described in Figure 102). There are some differences between the names of
channel states on different versions of WebSphere MQ for iSeries. In
the following table, the state names shown for V4R2 correspond to the channel
states described in Figure 30. As shown in the table, some of these states have
different names, or do not exist for earlier versions.
