Hi , we have a scenario like sending message from Mainframe QM to AIX QM and both QM s are clustered, in the message data we have " | " but when it is reaching AIX Queue it is getting converted into "!" , what we can do to get the actual value at AIX queue manager,
CCSID of AIX is 819
Thanks in Advance

Much about conversion is in the WMQ Application Programming Ref. and WMQ Application Programming Guide.
The usual options:
1. the consuming application specifies MQGMO_CONVERT
2. the SENDER channel attribute CONVERT(YES) is specified
What is the CCSID of the z/OS qmgr?

Your mainframe QM's CCSID is probably 500, and needs to be 037, to have this character converted properly. There are some other characters where this is an issue as well with CCSID 500.
Changing to 037 may or may not cause other conversion problems. Test, test, test.
Or stop sending |

As I said I am using cluster, so where I have to change the CONVERT (YES) attribute, as we can’t change this attribute for Dynamic cluster sender channels

I didn't say it would be easy. 
Also, Suresh Gupta. DO NOT USE CONVERT(YES) ON ANY CHANNEL.
It won't solve your problem, for one. You're presumably already doing MQMGO_CONVERT, otherwise you wouldn't be getting !.
Switch to a different delimiter character or change the CCSID to 37. |

If you need to send x and conversion set up problems are causing it to arrive as y, do not start sending y!
Because one day the conversion problems will be corrected and the y you are sending all of the sudden starts showing up as z.
This is why I said be careful changing to CCSID 037. Some app may have decided to solve their problem long ago by faking out the conversion and sending the "wrong" character knowing the mis-conversion has it show up correctly. When you change CCSIDs, you break their little solution which never should have been allowed in the first place.
