Hi guys,

need a small help.

I am working on data transformation from mainframe to solaris. putting a message on to Queue in mainframe environemnt, transforming it in MQSI, then sending it to solaris system.(i.e. first queue is in mainframe and second in solaris)

in MQSI, I need to change/modify the CCSID(Coded Character Set ID) that comes with mainframe message and send the modified one to solaris. I think the CCSID in mainframe will be 37. I think I need to modify it to CCSID that is specific to solaris environment so that the Applications able to read the message in queue.

How can I do that? where should I look for that ID? in Message header??

pls help me.

thanks
madhu

You did not tell us on which platform your broker is running? What are the contents of your message? IS it a Text message or will it also have Binary data (numeric, packed decimal, etc)?
For text messages, you can do the data conversion within your client program using MQGMO_CONVERT option.
If your data contains Binary data then you can use WMQI to convert data from one format (EBCDIC) to another (ASCII). This can be done by defining your input message into MRM. WMQI will internally convert this message into Unicode format after parsing. When writing out the message you can specify different CCSID and Encoding of different platform and WMQI will do the conversion for you. You need to use similar code for data conversion:

Code:

SET OutputRoot.Properties.CodedCharSetId = Solaris_CCSID;
SET OutputRoot.Properties.Encoding = Solaris_Encoding;


Hope this helps.

A better solution will be to use the convert option from MQ instead of using MQSI for CCSID and Encoding conversion.
