In looking at the MQueueManager there doesn't seem to be a method available to create a queue on a quemanager. Am I missing something here? What method or means should be used to create a queue on the QueueManager?
The reason I'm asking this is that I would like to create a program (or set of programs) that certain users (mainly programmers and testers) can use to create and manage to a degree queues. Of course I'd like to be able to control what they do a bit so just making MQ Explorer available doesn't really seem a viable option.

Issue PCF commands.

This is a slightly risky course of action. If you allow end users to create queues you can lose control of the infrastructure; if programmers are creating queues themselves how will you rebuild the queue structure when promoting the code to production when test is complete?
I wonder why testers would ever want to create a queue. 
Another point is that it's unlikely the end users will be familiar with all aspects of WMQ, and the ways it can be leveraged. Hence you could end up with a non-optimal and/or hard to administer WMQ set up because it was designed and created by people who (quite literally) didn't know better.
Just my 2 cents worth. Remember that you'll need to include facilities to modify security on the queue manager for the queues they set up.

Thanks I thought it would be PCF commands and yes I understand your "caveats" and agree. This may not be the way to go. I'm just looking at (being a programmer myself) not having time to create all these queues that they might want and not wanting to be bugged all the time by them. But strictures and structues might help more than applications.
Thanks for both the pointer to PCF commands and the "warnings".

Do you allow programmers to create adhoc databases and tables, too?
Do yo let them create security authentication and authorization rules?
Should programmers create queuemanagers, channels, and manage firewalls?
These are as much infrastructure as are queuemanager objects. I doubt this has or will pass any kind of audit of separation of power. It's certainly not one of those best-practice thingies.
WMQ APIs allow programmers to dymanically create temporary and permanent dynamic queues - assuming there is authority for them to do so.
Leave admin tasks to trained sysadmins. Let programmers write programs.
