Hi,

Scenario:
Sending application is sending the UTF-16 Bigendien message with CCSID set to 1200 (I can see in the MQMD header and confirm that the CCSID is set 1200). And I used rfhutilc to read the message from queue. And when I see the data tab in rfhutilc, the message it looks fine and the hexa is displayed correctly. For instance for "<" hex is 0X"003C". However the same message I am writing into a file using RFHUTILC and then when I open the file in a editer and see the HEX values it has become "0X3C00". Looks like they are getting converted UTF-16 LE. But that is strange as I am doing any conversion. And if I choose option on rfhutilc to exclude the MQMD and just write the data into file. The data looks perfectcly fine i.e hex value of "<" is shown as 0X "003C".

Can some please advice where is it getting converted and why is different when I save with MQMD and without MQMD using rfhutilc.


Thanks in anticipation.

Might all depend on the "endian-ness" of the platform on which you read the message and save it...
Why not use UTF-8 ?
