I am passing data from a mainframe to an NT MQ Server. I need to covert the EBCDIC to ASCII. I am using MQAX200 and thought I was doing it correctly, but I'm not getting back ASCII. Am I doing something wrong?

mqSession = New MQAX200.MQSession()

mqManager = mqSession.AccessQueueManager(sQManager)

If mqManager.IsOpen Then
mqQueue = mqManager.AccessQueue( sQQueue,MQOO_INPUT_AS_Q_DEF)
mqMessage = New MQAX200.MQMessage()
mqMessage.CharacterSet = 437
mqQueue.Get(mqMessage, mqMessageOpt)
mqQueue.Close()
End If

mqManager.Disconnect()

MQGet = mqMessage

Try to avoid conversion in channels - it's really the old-fashioned way and can involve multiple conversions.

Always code MQGET with CONVERT - it will make your applications more portable between platforms and allow them to receive data from different platforms without changing the code, or messing about with channel conversions (yuck!).
