Presumably using WMB but which version? On which platform? Fixed to what level?
Parsing the BLOB into what domain? XML? A message set? Does the blob match the message set? Could there (just guessing here) be a non-convertable string where the parser expects a numeric?

And you know the BLOB is a valid XML document?

You might be missing a cast statement somewhere. However without the exception list or the event log this might be very difficult to say where.
You can even check out the mqsichangetrace to find out the exact place where the error occurs.
However in any case your details are very sketchy to conjecture a solution at this point.

But what are you trying to do with it?
Looks like an error during a read from CHAR to BLOB.
Can you give a more descriptive explanation of your problem?

Then why is it a BLOB you're trying to parse manually?
You really need to be providing a bit more context here if we're going to help. Single sentance answers may be accurate but they're not especially informative!

I am trying to read a xml message and then convert it to a flat file structure as shown below:
@*@EventID:blahblah
@*@MsgID:blahblah....
Now before i output this message to output queue, i am logging the message.Now at this point i have a blob structure of the above format.when i try to convert this to char it throws the following error.
Error casting from %3 to %4.
Regards

So why not parse the XML into XMLNS domain via an input node, convert that into a message set to obtain the flat file format and then log the XML (or flat file structure) to wherever the log is prior to output?
What's doing the logging and why do you have a blob?

| Thanks guys. The problem is resolved. it was CCSID that was creating the problems.the output was expecting 1208 as the ccsid and i was passing the 437 as the ccsid. |

Use the CCSID and Encoding options on your CAST
