Hi

I am receiving messages from a legacy system with ccsid 819 and MQ version 5.3.

In my MQ server the ccs id is 1208 and MQ version 5.3 CSD10.

My client application not able show the chinese characters that are coming from back office machine. It is showing some funny characters.

Do I need to configure anything at queue manager level?

Regards
Srini

If your sender application is MIXING characters between different codepages in the SAME message - like "abcdefgh*&(&(*^&^xyzpdq" where I have substituted *&(&(*^&^ for chinese characters - then your receiver program has to know this and has to handle ALL character conversion on it's own.

It's a bad idea to write programs that mix data between codepages like this.

If your sender application is merely sending everything in a single code page that happens to be able to handle both "normal" characters and "chinese" characters - like Unicode! -, then you can allow MQ to perform any necessary character conversion by following best practices and specifying the CONVERT option on your GET.

In no case, at all, is it a good idea to configure EITHER queue manager to perform ANY character conversion. It may work (although probably not in your case), but it is still a bad idea.
