I'm able to get a msg to an AIX server with CCSID 819; when a linux client tries to pick the msg it gives a MQRC_FORMAT_ERROR; where LINUX CCSID should be 1208 according to the manual.
Do I need to change the CCSID for the AIX server to 1208 for the linux client to be able to pick the msg? if changed does the Aix server able to recieve the msgs? |

Could be bad news for other applications running on the server!
The CCSID of a message should always describe the data. So if it's written in 819 it should say 819.
I'd check first what the Format field of the MQMD in this message says & that it's the correct value for the message to be converted. If that's correct, I'd ask the sys admin to confirm the 819 -> 1208 is properly installed (which it should be, it's fairly standard).
All this assumes of course that the message is convertable between 819 & 1208.

| MQRC_FORMAT_ERROR means that an attempt has been made to convert a msg with a blank format. It works on AIX because the source and dest CCSIDs are the same. |

... or perhaps a MD.Format that is not recognised as an MQ built in format, and does not have a data conversion exit installed locally.
Do you have any error messages that mention conversion errors? |

MQI errors don't generally get written to the MQ log, since they are expected return codes in certain situations.
Try setting the MQMD.Fomat = MQFMT_STRING or 'MQSTR ' |
