Environment: Win2K workstation with MQ Client connection to AS/400 running MQSeries V4R2. Two local queues defined on the AS/400 (request and reply). VB app running on workstation creates a message containing an account number and puts it into the request queue. Triggered COBOL program running on AS/400 gets the message, populates several fields and puts a message to the reply queue. The VB app gets the reply message and populates a simple form with the results.
Problem: When the account number is displayed on the AS/400, the account number looks like garbage. When the reply data is displayed in the VB app, it all looks like garbage except for the account number. I tried using MQGMO-CONVERT in the COBOL program but got an error – return code 2110 – MQRC-FORMAT-ERROR which seems to indicate that no conversion is necessary.
I’m at a loss. Does anyone have any idea on what’s wrong and how I can fix it??
Any help would be appreciated. |

What value do you have in MQMD-FORMAT ?
To use MQGMO-CONVERT MQMD-FORMAT must contain 'MQSTR ' (or another predefined format), this tells MQSeries what your message contains..... otherwise MQSeries don't give a cent about your data.
I hope it might helpy you.
Just my $0.02

Thank you very much for getting me pointed in the right direction. With minor changes both applications are working fine now.
Your $.02 is worth a million  |
