Hello,
I have a c# program that read MQ Message, it works for almost 7 months. But now suddenly it throw error
"Unable to read beyond the end of the stream at System.IO.BinaryReader.ReadString() at IBM.WMQ.MQMessage.ReadString(Int32 length) at ....."

Here's my code snippet to read MQ Message
Code:

if (CountMessage(p_sQueue) > 0)
                {
                    oMQQueue = m_oMQQueueManager.AccessQueue(p_sQueue, IBM.WMQ.MQC.MQOO_INPUT_EXCLUSIVE | IBM.WMQ.MQC.MQOO_FAIL_IF_QUIESCING);
                    if (oMQQueue == null)
                    {
                        m_sErrorMessage = "Get : MQQueue is null";
                        return false;
                    }

                    MQMessage oMQMessage = new MQMessage();
                    MQGetMessageOptions oMQGetMessageOptions = new MQGetMessageOptions();

                    oMQGetMessageOptions.Options = IBM.WMQ.MQC.MQGMO_WAIT;
                    oMQGetMessageOptions.WaitInterval = m_iTimeout * 1000;
                    oMQGetMessageOptions.MatchOptions = IBM.WMQ.MQC.MQMO_NONE;

                    oMQQueue.Get(oMQMessage, oMQGetMessageOptions);


                    //string strRqId = oMQMessage.GetStringProperty("usr_UUID");

                    //byte[] bty = null;
                    //oMQMessage.ReadFully(ref bty);
                    //p_sMessage = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetString(bty);
                    p_sMessage = oMQMessage.ReadString(oMQMessage.MessageLength);
                    oMQMessage.ClearMessage();
                    oMQMessage = null;

                    oMQGetMessageOptions = null;
                    return true;
                }


I'm using version 8.0.0.7

What could be possibly the cause for it to happen ?

found some link that useful :
en*morzel*net/post/IBMWMQMQMessageReadString-and-EndOfStreamException

Quote:

The error was reported, because sometimes in two different locations there was a call to ReadString method on the same MQMessage object:


but i never call this method more than one time, and i create MQMessage as Local Variable !

Now , i want to replicate this bug in development environment but i dont know what to do ?
Any help / advice regarding this error will be appreciated.

Thank you.

What is the value of oMQMessage.MessageLength when you get this error? Does this not simply imply that it is zero?

Where is the code to check whether you were actually returned a message on the oMQQueue.Get call.

Cheers,
Morag

So, it worked for 7 months and now it gets an error.

What has changed? Program Code? O/S? MQ?

If you say that nothing has changed, it is unlikely that we will believe you.

How is the data (in error) different from when the app worked?

This issue reminds me of the scenario where the readString method hits an error because the number of chars and number of bytes do not coincide. In Java, we use code like this to account for this type of scenario.

Code:

         queue.get(rcvMessage, gmo);
         int length = rcvMessage.getDataLength();
         String msgText = rcvMessage.readStringOfByteLength(length);


Here is a blurb from the readString method for the MQMessage class:

Quote:

Parameters:
length - The number of characters to read (which might differ from the number of bytes according to the codeset, since some codesets use more than one byte per character).

Why are you trying to read a string when you haven't ascertained the format of the message to be a MQFMT_STRING?

You could have a binary content that includes a string terminator... Hence your error message?
