Please confirm which directory and the filename of the log you are trying to read. Active log files such as S0000001.LOG are not human readable. They are used internally by the queue manager.

The logs most often used to administer a queue manager are the error logs such as AMQERR01.LOG which are found in the subdirectory under qmgrs/QMGRNAME/errors directory.

If you truly need to see some info stored in the active log files, you can use the dmpmqlog command to dump a formatted version. Refer to the knowledge center: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSFKSJ_7.5.0/com.ibm.mq.ref.adm.doc/q083170_.htm
