Hi ALL
I have MRM CWF for parsing of binary data (file) with integer fields.
For example, hexa value of field in input file is '2900'. On Windows it parsed correct to 41. When I moved to AIX, I got value 10496 after parsing...
I guess that it is problem of Big/Little Endian.
I tried to change Default Byte Order in message set properties, but it doesn't helps.
Is there any property/environment variable for that purpose?
I have to parse in on input - using CAST function is not acceptable.
thanks

If your msgset import is from a cobol copy book make sure you set the 3rd page stuff. Set the OS to the broker's OS. Set little/big endian to the sending system's etc...
Enjoy

Thank you for reply. 
It is not COBOL - my MRM comming from import XSD or manual definition.

Where?  since it is not a cobol...
BTW, I tried to find difference in Message Set from cobol between Win32 and AIX... nothing...

This is on the third page of the import wizard for a cobol copy book.
It asks for the OS (Win/AIX/ZOS) and for the setup of little/big endian, about decimal notation, default nil values, default values, level 88 as enums etc...
Enjoy

As you have a binary format you cannot leave it to chance.
The only other alternative I see is setting the encoding on the outgoing message. This will tell which sense to read the number (little / big endian).
There should be a list of valid values (see constants) in the doc.
Enjoy

I set OutputRoot.Properties.Encoding by original OS where file was generated (546) and it is working.
Thanks
