Our mainframe program retrieving msg from queue suddenly fail with rc2110, format error.
I suppose this might be that the sender on a different platform set the format to format_none. But I have to view the mqmd of the msg.
I heard a lot about MQExplorer in v6 can read mainframe queues. So I set the MCAUSER in SYSTEM.ADMIN.SVRCONN to my userid, and created the queue SYSTEM.MQEXPLORER.REPLY.MODEL. But I a connect attempt gives me mqrc 2046 option error.
What else do I need to set to view queues on mainframe? We have client attachment feature installed on our z/OS box.
Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

Also, 2110 is just a warning. In fact, the message may have already been converted to the proper CCSID, and that's why conversion didn't work. But the message is given to the application, so you can attempt to process it anyway.
Secondly, you can use any MQ client program to view the message on that queue - you don't have to use MQExplorer. You could even use amqsbcgc!

really a grand master! yes, that did the trick. I didn't expect that to be that simple as any mqclient application. Many thanks.
It turned out I was right in guessing that format field in mqmd was not set. it's empty.
Is there a way for me to manually alter that to MQ_FMT_STRING? like a typical debugger can do?

Any program or utility can only GET or PUT to/from the queue.
It's not possible to update a message in-situ (AFAIK) but a program like RFHUTILC (support pac IH03) can be used to remove the message (GET) to it's buffer, or to a file, modify the MQMD and then replace it (PUT) on the queue.
Somewhat tedious to do with a large number of messages, in which case writing a (MQI) program yourself would be the best option. |

That's what MQ Visual Edit does best.
