Haveing read the help for MQInput node on conversion I am coming across the problem of ciontuinuing parsing errors.

scenario - flow 1 has MQInput node set with XML parser (yes I know its supposed to be XMLNSC, had that battle with client and lost until they upgrade apparently so......) get EBCDIC message from iSeries machine CCSID 037 in MQMD and parser fails on reference to an element in the tree becasue the parser has errored unable to parse message. Created seperate flow where input node is BLOB parse and then parse message to XML in compute node using ESQL works fine as knew it would, so went back to MQInput node and set convert checkbox, which according to the help also says if i dont state a value in the CCSID and Encoding boxes it gets it from the MQMD, happy days i thought, but it puts back the default 1208 UTF CCSID (which I believe is the internal CCSID for the tree anyway) into the CCSID value and still fails to parse.
When it says no value I assumed to mean you blank it out as in backspacwe the values whichever and have even tried 0 in each entry on the basis that maybe zero defines no value but still fails the parse. If however i hard cosde the CCSID it works fine as i would expect

Problem is I have no control over the incoming CCSID so can not really default the MQInput node value to 037 in case it isnt for other messages to this flow so want to force the inoput node to get the values for both encoding and CCSID from the MQMD as it says on the tin.
anybody got suggestions or experienced the same or am i missing something here

Version 6 CSD03 on solaris (again dont ask - words like HEAD, WALL, BEATING spring to mind)

TIA
