Hello everyone,
I am tring to convert URDU character convertion to Hex using the following statemnt in esql
SET ref.UrduTemplate = 'ٹ';
DECLARE UrduTempleteBLOB1 BLOB CAST(ref.UrduTemplate as BLOB CCSID 868) ;
the CCSID 868 i saw on the following link for my relevant language.
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSFKSJ_7.5.0/com.ibm.mq.ref.dev.doc/q104460_.htm
Interesting part is the ERROR below showing a converted HEX which is 7606 while the correct HEX should be 0676.........
Please help what should i do to get the correct equalent 0676 hex agianst this letter and resolve this error......????
Text:CHARACTER:DECLARE UrduTempleteBLOB1 BLOB CAST(ref.UrduTemplate AS BLOB CCSID 868);

May be you have the wrong endian-order specified?

The character that you are trying to encode is GCGID AT030009.
In Unicode this character is U0000679 ARABIC LETTER TTEH
...as shown here :http://www-01.ibm.com/software/globalization/gcgid/arabic.html
You are trying to write AT030009 ( or U0000679 ) using CCSID 868.
http://www-01.ibm.com/software/globalization/ccsid/ccsid868.html
The characters in CCSID 868 are listed here:
ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/software/globalization/gcoc/attachments/CS01248.txt
...and AT030009 is not one of them.
Summary: CCSID 868 does not contain the character that you are trying to write. You will need to select a different CCSID. Any good reason why you are not using CCSID 1208 ( UTF-8 )? Or CCSID 1200 ( UTF-16 )?

| Also, if you are trying to write the character "in Hex", then you might try removing the CCSID entirely. That will (or, maybe, should) produce a hexadecimal representation of the bytes of the character value. |

Possibly. It depends on
a) what the OP means by 'in Hex' and
b) what you mean by 'the bytes of the character value'
Personally, I would prefer to be explicit about the CCSID so that I know exactly what to expect.

Yes, that was part of my point...

I meant, for example that in ASCII, the letter a is binhexed to '61'. So the 'character value' is 'a', and the bytes that represent it are displayed in bin->hex as '61'.

Sure, if one is trying to convert between codepages. If one is merely trying to create a character representation of byte values, one might not. |

Exactly. But the characters in the message tree are Unicode ( UTF-16, platform endian), not ASCII. The default CAST-to-BLOB behavior will probably produce either UTF-16BE or UTF-16LE depending on the endian-ness of the platform.

Oh, right, I was thinking of the default BLOB->Char casting behavior.
