I have the following set in a compute node just prior to outputting to our VSE System
SET OutputRoot.MQMD.CodedCharSetID = 037;
SET OutputRoot.MQMD.Encoding = 785;
The VSE Code Page is set to 037 and the messages arrive to the Q however the data is unintelligible. My hunch is the ASCII to EBCDIC conversion is not working. Any Ideas.
Thanks
Scott

Why to change CCSID on MQPUT (Output Node) ?
You need that your message will be in its original CCSID.
MQGET on VSE must convert it to EBCDIC.

Scott,
Use this instead,
| Code: |
SET OutputRoot.Propertis.CodedCharSetID = 037;
SET OutputRoot.Propertis.Encoding = 785;

Kirani,
I'm not an WMQI expert, but is that going to do anything? If the message coming into WMQI is ASCII, the output will be in ASCII as well, regardless of what the MQMD is set to on the PUT. I am not aware of any conversion happening on the MQPUT.
In the above case, unless I am wrong, I would expect WMQI would still put out an ASCII message, but just be calling it EBCIDIC. In fact, it is still ASCII, and the recieving convert is going to try to convert to its local CCSID a message it assume is coming in as EBCIDIC, producing garbage.

Hi Peter,
With above two statements, WMQI will do the data conversion.
When WMQI reads an input message from the queue, it first converts it into UCS2 (Unicode) format internally. It then convert the message to CCSID and Encoding Values set into Properties folder while writing out the message using MQOutput node. This is one of the main feature of WMQI!

I'm still not getting the convert to take place with the suggestions made here.
Thanks anyway
Scott

Hi Scott,
What is code you are using now in your Compute node to do the Data Conversion? What is your output message format/domain set to?
I think I mistyped the code in my earlier post, It should be
| Code: |
SET OutputRoot.Properties.CodedCharSetId = 037;
SET OutputRoot.Properties.Encoding = 785;
|
Add a Trace node before the MQOutput node and capture ${Root} in it, make sure it's showing the new CCSID and Encoding values in Properties folder.
