Do I need to change the CCSID attribute if I'm exchanging messages between Unix and a Mainframe machine? I'm running MQSeries 5.2 on solaris. Both the machines are in US. Thanks.

No you dont want to change CCSID, the mainframe should be 500 and the Unix will
be 819 or 1051 i think

| Thanks. When does it make sense to change the CCSID? Just wanted to get this concept cleared. |

Vin,
you might get conversion issues with CCSID 500 on the mainframe if you start dealing with messages that contain certain 'special' characters, like '[', ']' and so on, as they usually are contained in XML messages. Codepage 37 turns out to be suitable, but you probably don't want to change anything unless you encounter conversion problems.
My 2 cents,
Stefan

On OS390, you would change the QMCCSID parameter in your ZPARMS. That is in the member CSQ4ZPRM in the SCSQPROC pds.

| Do I change the CCSID on both the solaris and the mainframe machines or is it enough if I just do that on my side (solaris)? What is the value I would set on both the solaris and the mainframe machine? I'm using this character | in the request and the response contains all ! characters allthough they are sending |. Thanks for all the help. |

Vin,
your problem will most likely vansih, if you can get your mainframe MQ admin to alter the QMCCSID parameter of the macro CSQ6SYSP to specify 37.
If you want to test it before you change the QMgr, the people who put the message in the mainframe program can MOVE 37 TO MQMD-CODEDCHARSETID (assuming COBOL) before putting the message. If you see the pipe symbol on your Solaris box, a general change of the QMgr CCSID might make sense.
And no, you won't have to change both ends. 819 on Solaris should be just fine for what you need.
Hope that helps,
Stefan
