Yes.
Specify the MQGMO_CONVERT option.

You have to know and understand when and how data conversion occurs.
Fortunately for you, this is documented.
And discussed many many many times here.

| im not a developer just a UNIX admin with a deadline, sorry if this question was considered trival and gone over many times. I have looked thru the documentation and I guess, is this done at the API level only, or is there a object attribute which can do this? |

The best way for this to be done is for the sending application to set the format to MQFMT_STRING and the receiving application to specify the MQGMO_CONVERT option.

For conversion there is only one field type acceptable: String.
So no pic s9(5) comp-3 stuff.
