--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi,
Can anyone advice me about converting a MQMD Message ID field from EBCDIC to ASCII? We tried setting CCSID to 1208 and 819 but neither worked.
Any help .
Thanks a lot.

How many times does this have to be said:
The MessageID and CorrelationID fields are not characters, they are bytes. Which is why MQ doesn't convert them, when it converts everything else.
Cheers,

The three (in)famous byte fields of MQMD - MsgId, CorrldId and GrpId - are not converted as the rest of the MQMD is, nor are they converted using GMO_CONVERT conversion for Format=strings; in other words, you'll have to do this manually.
Keeping in mind that these fields should only be used in request/reply scenarios - and are hence only copied but never referred to by any other appl but the same one who set it - this is not a problem if you have a sound MQ design. Thus the question arises, why do you need to convert MessageId?
Further reference: JMS - correlation ID (you could have found this yourself...) |

In truth, I am unsure whether you are frowning at me or at the AccountingToken 
Anyway, you'd admit that the AccountingToken is not as famous as the trio I mentioned, and has no bearing upon this specific post; I merely listed those that seemed relevant... |
