I need to convert message coming from OS/390 into WMQI input queue on AIX. Message consists form both packed decimal and character fields.
We usually do EBCDIC/ASCII conversion on channel, but with packed decimal that wouldn't work.
Would it be sufficient not to do channel conversion, rather check
"Convert" box on MQInput message and put OS/390 values for "Convert Encoding" and "Convert CCSID"?
WMQI broker runs on AIX box.
TIA, George. |

George,
Convert checkbox on MQInput node maps to MQGMO_CONVERT option. This option will work only for messages whose MQMD.Format field is set to MQSTR, CONVERT=YES option on channel does the same thing. It is a "good practice" to do data conversion in the program rather than doing it at the channel level.
WMQI is capable of doing Data Conversion for you. You need to define your input message format in MRM-CWF format, and then parse your input message using this message defn. After parsing your input message you can directly refer to your PackedDecimal field value using ESQL.

Thank you, Kiran!
After assigning proper Enumeration and CCSID values (for OS/390, since we removed channel conversion), WMQI had no problem parsing message.
Regards, George. |
