Hi all,
When testing for inbound Idocs Im getting these errors.

05/27/02 16:59:42 SMQ4172: The length of the inbound message is invalid for an IDoc.

EXPLANATION: The inbound message data length is not compatible with the IDoc format. The message should be comprised of: The Saplink header structure; followed by an IDoc control structure and IDoc data records for each IDoc in the message. file.
ACTION: Ensure that IDocs have the correct format.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
05/27/02 16:59:42 SMQ4191: A message was put to the bad message queue. Bad message type 1, reason 4109.

EXPLANATION: The message was not in a valid IDoc format. The bad message type is 1 and the bad message reason is 4109.
ACTION: Check the bad message reason code in the bad message header of the message. Attempt to correct the error and send the message again.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have defined the SAP Link header according to the documentation as follows:
Field Length R/O Value
StrucId 4 R SAPH
Version 4 R 1
StrucLength 4 O
Encoding 4 O
CodedCharSetId 4 O
Format 8 O ?????????? - what should be here?
Flags 4 O
Client 3 O 120
Language 1 O en
Hostname 48 O l17asp02
UserId 12 O r3link
Password 8 O testmq
SystemNumber 2 O
Reserved 2 O

My MQServer and the external application are on NT . SAP is on UNIX.

Now am I missing something in the above configuration?
Any help is appreciated.

TIA
