I am writting a JMS Application using MQ 5.2.

I receive a message from the input queue and use the contents of the input message
to create an output message. I am required to set the Format, Coded Character Set ID and Encoding
of the output message the same as the input message.

Looking at the "Properties for Message"/"Data" tab in the MQSeries Explorer the following is specified for

the input
message.

Format: MQSTR
Coded Character Set ID: 819
Encoding: 273

I use the following code:

//Format
String format = message.getStringProperty("JMS_IBM_Format");

SysLogger.Log(SysLogger.INFO, "Format = " + format);

outmessage.setStringProperty("JMS_IBM_Format", format);

// Character Set
String charSet = message.getStringProperty("JMS_IBM_Character_Set");
SysLogger.Log(SysLogger.INFO, "charSet = " + charSet);
outmessage.setStringProperty("JMS_IBM_Character_Set", charSet);

// Encoding
try {
int encoding = message.getIntProperty("JMS_IBM_Encoding");
SysLogger.Log(
SysLogger.INFO,
"TransferAggMsgs2::process::Encoding = ::" + encoding + "::");
outmessage.setIntProperty("JMS_IBM_Encoding", encoding);
} catch (NumberFormatException e) {
SysLogger.Log(
SysLogger.INFO,
"TransferAggMsgs2::process:: Got NumberFormatException on

message.getIntProperty");
}

I get the following output

message.getStringProperty("JMS_IBM_Format") prints MQSTR
message.getStringProperty("JMS_IBM_Character_Set") prints null
and
int encoding = message.getIntProperty("JMS_IBM_Encoding");
throws the NumberFormatException
