Greetings,
After having developed an interface for an AS400 server using MQSeries Java Client, I now finally testing against the AS400 instead of a queue on WINNT get a lot of "¤¤¤¤¤***&&&###" characters instead of the ones intended. The machine I am running it on is a Windows NT.
So the question is, are MQSeries 5.1 character specific in any way, or what is it I am missing.
Thanks

Do you use the convert option on your MQGET within your Java program? If I'm not wrong, the AS/400 uses EBCDIC as opposed to ASCII on WinNT.

Specify MQGMO_CONVERT option in MQGET call. Remember, this option will work for for STRING data types only. If you have any binary data then you will have to write user-exit to do the conversion.

Thanks... It works now.
But I still have yet another problem when I am writing to the AS400. I have tried to use the characterSet function on my MQMessage object, but it still does not work.
Thanks again

check the MQMessenger app in 'Code Repository' Section. You will get an idea about using the Character Set and encoding options with your messages.
Good luck Feel free to ask me questions about that program. |

Hello,
I could not add the characterSet() command succesfully to the message to be sent, so instead I converted the message before sending it with a script found on the net.
Thnaks for the help anyway
