>>How do we list the number of channel connections made to queues in a Queue >>Manager in MQSeries 5.2 on a AIX box?

I didn't put any answer to the original question becasue I'm not sure I understood it. What does 'channel connections to queues' mean ? Are we asking how many queues a particular channel has open at any one time ? If so then you.re not really in much luck on 5.2 I'm afraid. On 5.3 then you can issue DIS QSTATUS(*) TYPE(HANDLE) and you will see the channel names (if any) if they've opened a queue. This will work for both clients and QM->QM Channels. If you've got a problem then you could try using 'amqrdbgm'. Type 'q' to see the queue cache in use for the current channel. '?' will show the list of commands. This is a service tool and should not really be used while there is no problem since it is not guaranteed to be 100% safe. In fact I shouldn't be telling you about it at all so I'll shut up now.
