I'm testing now in transporting messages from a Polish server to a Dutch one. I need to keep the Polish special chars intact. Therefor, I choose to have the message in UTF-8 format.

1) Would it make any difference for the messagecontent if I have the CCSID on both servers set to 1208 or both on 437? It appears to me it doesn't.

2) Am I correct and assuming this:
if the CCSID is not the same on both sides, MQ Series on the receiving end will lookup if there is a conversion-entry in the ccsid.tbl. If so, it will convert (envelope? messagecontent? both?), if there's not, I would need to create an exit myself to convert?

3) Does the CCSID actually have any influence on the message-content?
Or is it just the envelope that is influenced by the CCSID?

Any help would be appreciated very much, thank you.
regards.
