Hey all,
I am writing a Visual Studio VB app which will put a message on the queue.
I have to set CCSID as 1208 in the MQMD.
I need to understand where I can set this parameter?
The APP runs on the Windows server and the CCSID going through is 1200 UTF-16.
I have an idea I need to set the MQPutMessageOptions parameters but cannot find any detail on this.
Regards  |

Then read the doc. It's in the Application Progamming Guide or Reference.

Why do you have to set it to 1208 when you say

You need to set the CCSID field in the MQMD to the CCSID of the character data within the message body.

Remember the MQMD.CCSID value for the codepage must match the actual message data contents.
MQ does no conversion on the MQPUT, it won't change the data from 1200 format to 1208 format just because you changed the header.
I don't know if the VB layer does this - you can check the messages on the queue. Just remember to browse them without the convert option so you see the original codepage, as some tools automatically convert the messages to the windows code page when you view them. |

Assuming that VB is using .NET, the .NET layer can convert on write, based on the MQMessage.CharacterSet property (aka MQMD.CCSID), though that depends on which write method the application uses to write the data. |
