Hi all,
I have a QMGR (CCSID 1140) ON Z/OS and one (CCSID 819) on AIX. I'm trying to send messages from Z/OS to AIX using a sender channel with "covert by sender" set to YES.
My problem is that no conversion is done at all. Now I'm wondering if this could be due to a mismatch of CCSID's. Could someone tell me this or point me in another possible direction.
Thank You all
Remco |

Do you need to set that?
The data conversion should be done on the receiving end, whenever possible. This is because only the receving end knows what platform it is on. So the convert should be done at MQGET. Use MQGMO_CONVERT option. The channel conversion is only use when one of the platform (the receiving end) could not do the conversion. Otherwise, it is best practice to do it at the GET. Also it requires that the format use is all characters - MQFMT_STRING. If you are going to use the channel to convert, both sending and receiving channel must have CONVERT(YES).
This auto conversion is done only if you set the sending format to the built in format such as, MQFMT_STRING
Have you tried running the sample put and get program? |
