We are developing an interface through which we are supposed to send an XML string to an IN queue using MQSeries to the server and retrieve XML string in response to our request from the OUT queue.
Details:
There server is MQSeries AS/400.
We are using MQSeries Client for Windows Ver 5.2
We are developing our application in VB.
Basically there are 2 programs 1--PUT & 2--GET
When we use our put program to send the XML message as a string to there IN queue we are able to do the same properly using the PUT program.
In response to our request the software at the server processes the file and send back the output to the OUT queue
From there we have to receive the XML string in response to our request , we get garbled data with 0 Reason Code and 0 Warning when we issue an MQGET call.
Could anyone help us in solving out this problem at the earliest. |

A quick guess, as your ASCII client is talking to an EBCDIC server - are you using MQSTR(ING?) as the message format, and specifying MQGMO_CONVERT as on the MQGET options.

Yes we have specified the same.
Our server guys have suggested us to set few environment variables Like:
MQserver
MQCCSID=850
message format=MQFMT_STRING
Now could you please suggest us to how we can rectify the problem it's very very URGENT!!!! |

I'm not too sure how that "message format=MQFMT_STRING" is going to work. You can't set an environment variable that way - it looks like you have set the variable "format".
Why not set the format in the message descriptor in the client & server program, when you do your PUTs? And are you SURE you're setting Get Mesage Options as MQGMO_CONVERT? |

Could you please advise us how to set the format in the VB programs for PUT and GET.
The encoding is UTF-8 at the server.
Whether we have to set the MQGMO_CONVERT options for both PUT and GET programs..
Do we also have to make some changes in ccsid.tbl
Please advise. |

Hi,
Sorry, I don't know VB. In the PUTting program, you need to set the format of the message:
memcpy(md.Format, MQFMT_STRING, MQ_FORMAT_LENGTH); /* C */
And when you read back the messages, set your get message options to convert string (from or to ASCII, for example):
gmo.Options |= MQGMO_CONVERT; /* C */
You shouldn't have to muck about with ccsid.tbl  |
