MQSeries.net :: View topic - Writing a message from a queue to a flat file

I am trying to take a message off a queue and write the data to a "flat file". I am getting the connection to the queue manager and putting the message into a string in Java. However when I look at the data that is in the string (while debugging or when I write it out), the data is "messy". The RFH and other headers are all a bunch of computer chars and the rest looks like this:

<jms><Dst>queue:///ARCHIVE_QUEUE</Dst><Tms>1093228578875</Tms><Cid>A3E75F20202641295751003C</Cid><Dlv>2</Dlv></jms>

Something like XML? I am fairly new to programming and totally new to MQ, so any help would be greatly appreciated. I have tried matching my characterSet to the original setting when the message was first put on the queue I am trying to pull off of, and that still didn't change the data into something that is good to write out to a flat file. What other formatting or decoding can I do to get this more into a string format or a nice format for a archiving flat file?

Also for some reason I am not getting the entire message.... (Max message length setting is sufficient).

Thanks for any help.
