Filtering in MQ Explorer do not all for special characters to be used.

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

The base MQ product support the creations of objects (like a Process definition) that contain attributes containing special characters. An example will be when you have a CICS transaction starting with a # and you use this as the Application ID in the Process definition. In Explorer all fields are coded to not allow any special character  to used in a filter.

 

This means Explorer filtering is 100% limited when your clients use functions allowed in the base product, but not usable in filters in the MQ administration product. No filtering can be used in Explorer if the attribute contains a special character.

    I agree this is a defect and I opened the case with IBM as a defect. Support told me to close my case and try to get it resolved with an IDEA instead.
