Hi,
We are doing XMLNSC to FLM (MRM) coversion in broker flow using esql. Flow input is XMLNSC with CCSID = 1208 and it contains few fields in chinese characters. Output is created as FLM message which will have both english and chinese characters; and this FLM output is sent to another UNIX based system. But other application is not getting the chinese characters properly. We have tried with utf-16 conversion, with CCSID as 1200, 1201, 1202 and Encoding = 273; but still facing the same issue.
Please suggest what CCSID and Encoding to be used for handling chinese characters. |

Hi,
First you need to check the code page (CCSID) of the sending application.
If the sending application is using UTF-8 and you have set 1208 for your OutputRoot, you should see the characters properly.
Also for all these characters, check the HEX value before they enter into the
message flow and after they leave the message flow. If HEX value is same
then you done nothing wrong. The problem could be at the tool or application reading the message.
Regards,
Saurabh |

Remember that the target field must be large enough to hold the Chinese character that can be represented by up to 4 bytes.

This question crops up a lot. You can be fairly sure that this is not a defect in the MRM parser, or in the XMLNSC parser. Not impossible, but not likely either.
Make sure that you understand exactly what is going on in the sending application, in the message flow(s) and in the receiving application. Check that the correct CCSID / encoding is being used in each place.
And to save yourself a *lot* of time, do not trust whatever program you are using to display the chinese characters. Many people have spent hours or days trying to diagnose a character encoding problem - and then they discover that everything is working OK, and it's the display program that is at fault. |

Thanks everyone for the reply...
This issue is resolved by using Convert option at MQInput node. And GBK Charset is being used in convert option.
Yes, the tools we use to display the chinese characters was not displaying it properly. But, receiving application is able to view it now. |
