Hi,
i have a doubt converting special char symbol into character by using BITSTREAM.
i am getting the unconvertable character error while try to convert special character to character( example. ® ...)
can any one please tell to how to solve this problem .
My code is like this
DECLARE bBitInputMsg BLOB ASBITSTREAM(OutputRoot.XMLNSC CCSID InputRoot.Properties.CodedCharSetId ENCODING InputRoot.Properties.Encoding);
DECLARE cCharInputMsg CHAR CAST (bBitInputMsg AS CHAR CCSID InputRoot.Properties.CodedCharSetId ENCODING InputRoot.Properties.Encoding);
First i am conveting the XML into BLOB then i am converting the BLOB to Character that time i am getting the Convertion error if the input messaeg have some special character. please help me on this .
Regards

'OutputRoot' should probably be 'InputRoot'. 'ENCODING' is harmless, but unnecessary for XMLNSC.

Which error? Which code is generating the error? Be specific.
Which character encoding does the input header ccsid specify?
Which character encoding does the input body actually use?
Are these different?

I guess "namakkal" is trying to convert the input message to a string.

I guessed that...but why do you want to do this? There may be a better way to meet the requirement. |

Hello Kimbert,
What is the better way,
How we can archive this? |

Answer the question and maybe we'll come up with something.

Archive or Achieve?
If you're simply trying to archive a message, why convert it to a string?
If you're trying to achieve a goal to which converting XML to a string is a means to an end (and have the same issues with spelling that I do!) the question remains - why convert XML to a string like this? What is the requirement? What is the goal?
There may be a better way to achieve "the goal" than converting XML to string.

Thanks for rply
I cud have tried with ASBITSTREAM ... what namakkal has mentioned. it was failed.
And Even I have my own solution i.e to send the actual message in environment variables.
I cud have archived the requirement. But I am looking for better solution than me.
You said that you have better solution. that way i have asked you.
Here is my requirement.
WTX is sending Data with special characters in XML format. WMB has to identify the some of the fields and send it to WPG in RFH2 header and read the actuall content which i have tried to read as string has some special characters.
Now you understood the requirement.
Now tell me what is your solution, if you know. |

I don't think anybody said that. We suggested that there *might* be a better solution.

Sorry - I don't understand that. What is WPG? Why does WMB have to identify some of the fields? Who has to read this 'actual content' and why? |

And thank you for the detailed explaination.

Well I'll ask another question if I may - does the CCSID of the RFH2 support the special characters? If not, what drove that decision?
