I have messages coming from outside partners through a UNIX system to OS/390. They are sending an exclaimation '!' and it is coming into the MF as X'4F'. Our CCSID on the OS/390 system is 500. For some reason we are seeing this as a '|'. Can someone explain? Does it have to do with the CCSID of the MF? For straight character conversion, should I change the CCSID to 037?? What are the implications of doing this?

TIA

Regards

See http://www.mqseries.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=11969 for the "opposite" of this "problem".

The conversion is being done correctly. It's just that the ! character maps to the | character in the code page you're using.

You need to get your code page changed to 037 on the mainframe
