The message flow receives an XML message (UTF- containing an en dash character
<REGION_NAME>W – West</REGION_NAME>

Previously I was receiving an uncovertable character error which was fixed by setting the CCSID to 1208
SET OutputRoot.Properties.CodedCharSetId = 1208;

after setting this when the message is written to a queue it appears as
<REGION_NAME>W – West</REGION_NAME>

The en dash has now become
HEX value, E28093

I know the en dash is not a valid character in ISO-8859-1 which is the default AIX (code page 819)

Has the meaning of the original XML been lost and what can be done about this?

Again, what do you use to look at the message on the queue. Do not be fooled by the display... you might want to look at the hex values. Some utilities (rfhutil ih03) will retrieve the message correctly in UTF-8 but are not capable of displaying it in UTF-8. So look at the hex values, all should be well.

Enjoy
