Is there a way to just output to a queue just a string of character ?

I used a simple flow
MQINPUT ---COMPUTE --- MQOUTPUT

All I have in the compute node is

DECLARE MSG CHAR '123456';
SET OutputRoot.BLOB.BLOB = MSG;

I just want to have a MQ outout message of '123456'

But I receive error saying that MSG is character and it expects BLOB. If I cast MSG as blob the output is not '123456'

There are a number of possible solutions.One that occurs is to define a message set where the single output is a string of whatever length you deem necessary & write your string out using the MRM domain.

Other, possibly simpler solutions will probably be suggested by people more ingenious than me.

Use the CAST function to convert the CHARACTER to BLOB. Don't forget to use the CCSID parameter.

That appears to be a link to a page in your local Help...
