Hello, I'm using WMQI 2.1. I am try to take an EBCDIC blob from the mainframe and cast it to ASCII.
I have been using the statement
Set OutputRoot.XML.Message.COmmand = CAST (InputRoot.BLOB.BLOB as CHAR CCSID 437).
This is taking the X'40' ebcdic spaces and converting to @ signs. The @ sign is X'40' in ASCII, but I want it to be X'20' spaces in ASCII. I'd appreciate any input on this.
Thank you |

I don't know your exact environment but I'll describe mine:
The Broker is on S390 and the data returned is in EBCDIC but we want to view the output in ASCII (as it should be readable).
So in the input queue itself we specify the Encoding to 546 and CCSID to 437 and it works fine.
Actually the bitstream itself will remain unchanged so if you want to convert X'40' to X'20' then you must code it.

well .. you are missing 2 lines of code here ...
| Code: |
SET OutputRoot.Properties.CodedCharSetId = 437;
SET OutputRoot.Properties.Encoding = 546;

I had the same problem. You can do conversions
1. At the input queue - if the MQFMT = MQSTR, then you can have the input converted to Ascii there.. Look at the parameters in the input node.
2. Writing MRM/XML to an output queue - as per Kiranis note above - if you specify a Char set it will convert the current data into that Charset.
I could never get it to work for BLOBS.
I ended up writing my own Java node to do this for BLOBS. using some code like this
public static void convertetoa (InputStream in, OutputStream out) {
try {
//output file in ebcdic from unicode
InputStreamReader inputReader = new InputStreamReader(in,"Cp500");
OutputStreamWriter outWriter = new OutputStreamWriter(out,"Cp1252");
int c;
while ((c = inputReader.read()) >= 0)
outWriter.write(c);
inputReader.close();
outWriter.close();
}
catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); }
} |

Warren,
My Input is in BLOB and the output is in XML (EBCDIC to ASCII)
and using the convert options on the MQinput node to 437 and 546 for encoding worked for me. |
