We are facing difficulties in reading messages in Mainframe. The messages are available in the mainframe queue but their format is listed in junk characters. The text messages are dropped in directly from Java/JMS application into the mainframe Queue. Please find more details below:

Server Environment: Java client is used. The WebSphere MQ 5.3 is installed in mainframe machine.

Issue: We are storing the message into mainframe Queue via JAVA. Java standalone program is able store the data and retrieve the data from Mainframe MQ. Also Java program is able to read the data from the queue which was put by mainframe. But the issue is that Mainframe could not recognize the format for the text message which was put by Java. The text message when listed in mainframe looks like JUNK value.

How can we put the message in mainframe from java so that mainframe can understand or we missing any configuration? Any help on this is highly appreciated.
