Our project has the following scenario :
1) Sending Adapter on the Mainframe
2) Configuration Manager on the Windows NT
3) Broker on AIX
I have set the 'Convert' option on the Advanced Tab on the Input Queue and want to know if I have to specify the CCSID/Encoding whenever I use a 'Cast'.
Also, in my case what would the CCSID/Encoding be? |

I think the convert option on the input node tells MQSeries to perform the code page conversion. Otherwise, MQSI performs the conversion.
I don't think you need to worry about this. Just let MQSI deal with it. MQSI will convert all messages to/from unicode, which is what ESQL uses internally to represent CHAR's.
Your adaptors though, do need to perform the following when manipulating MQ messages:
1) Use a format of MQSTR, this informs MQSeries the message contents are a string anc can be converted between code pages.
2) Set the CCSID correctly, MQ supplies a default which is the queue manager default CCSID, but this may not always be correct. |

However, if you are explicitly casting from BLOBs to CHARs, or vice versa, you should specify a CCSID - otherwise you will get a string that contains the byte-to-hexchars representation of the field (X'AFCD0729...'). And if you're using Create Field...Parse, it's an even better idea.
Usually, using InputRoot.Properties.CodedCharSetId is fine.
