Hi,
I have written a C program to add IMS header to input XML message.
The backend expects the message in EBCDIC as it is mainframes.I need to do this conversion in the C code.Is there any function in C to do the same?Please suggest if there is some other way to do it.
Thanks,
Saurabh |

Why. As long as the message is all character, which it should be for XML, and you set the MQMD and MQIIH header fields correctly, MQ will do the conversion for you.
Cheers,

If you have trouble reading the message on the mainframe, try setting the ccsid of the remote queue to the mainframe to 500. This solved some of our translation problems.

I haven't done any IMS coding so I don't know much of MQIIH. But as Eddie stated, as long as you set the header correctly (MQMD and MQIIH) the conversion of all characters can be done my MQ.
Say you send with MQFMT_STRING, then the get on mainframe just use MQGMO_CONVERT. That would do it. In plain MQMD fashion. Chekout the App Programming Guide. |

| Conversion to EBCDIC runs before the exit if you have them running in the same channel. you will have to have an extra step, one to run the exit then another to do the conversion |
