If your sender application is MIXING characters between different codepages in the SAME message - like "abcdefgh*&(&(*^&^xyzpdq" where I have substituted *&(&(*^&^ for chinese characters - then your receiver program has to know this and has to handle ALL character conversion on it's own.
It's a bad idea to write programs that mix data between codepages like this.
If your sender application is merely sending everything in a single code page that happens to be able to handle both "normal" characters and "chinese" characters - like Unicode! -, then you can allow MQ to perform any necessary character conversion by following best practices and specifying the CONVERT option on your GET.
In no case, at all, is it a good idea to configure EITHER queue manager to perform ANY character conversion. It may work (although probably not in your case), but it is still a bad idea. _________________ I am *not* the model of the modern major general.
