Hi Paul If you are using PL/I for MVS and VM V1.1.1 and you attempt to rebind the resulting PL/1 modules with MQ V7, your bind will likely fail.
MQ V7 version of CMQEPP contains declarations for many new entry points that are not supported in the CICS or IMS environments, thus the problem. A workaround that -may- work for you is to perform your bind using the MQ V6 version of SCSQPLIC(CMQEPP). Of course, there is no support for this workaround. When it eventually does break, you get to keep both pieces. You should consider performing a trial rebind of any executable that contains the CMQEPP MQ stub, on the new zOS and MQ versions in a test LPAR. Preferably before you upgrade to the new zOS and/or MQ in production. As you asked the initial question, you know the importance of avoiding surprises, and I am sure you are doing all you can to urge your application teams to convert to Enterprise PLI.
