I have a question that I feel I should know but somehow do not 
I have data sent from a z/OS system to a UNIX system with NOCONVERT option at the SENDER Channel. The data will be 'MQGET' via a Windows MQ Client API, So the data sits as Code 500. When the ServerConn gets the message, is the data converted automatically by the MQ Server server code from 500 to Windows? |

Is CONVERT an option on a SVRCONN channel?
It may be converted if the application has requested that this be done and the requirements for conversion are met.

| As to CONVERT on the Sender channel, no! We use that channel for other non-Client applications. and they use CONVERT on MQGET. |

So what's different in this case?
Why shouldn't the app use Convert on GET? |

No. Client channels (ServerConn / ClientConn) do not have a CONVERT attribute. The message needs to be in MQFMT_STRING format and you need to request conversion using the MQGMO_CONVERT option on the call to MQGET.
