My perl program running on zSeries Linux uses MQSeries module to put a message to a remote MQ server running on OS/390.

At the end of each message there is a 0x0A even though during my debugging I dont see any such thing.

In fact at the end of the message is a 0x03 (ETX) as requested by the other party. It seems that the ETX is converted to 0x0A.

I use MQFMT_STRING as the data type. Should I use anything else to prevent this? I am not even sure where this is happening - at the source or at the destination.

Any pointers? Thanks

The 0A was coming from the server the program is connecting to. The data is in EBCDIC and then converted to ASCII. Along with that the 0A (LF) at the end of the string was in ASCII and was treated as EBCDIC character 0A (whatever that is) and then converted to ASCII.

I should have choped it before the conversion.

Except, of course, chop is deprecated for use as "remove trailing line endings".

You should chomp instead of chop. It's more platform neutral.
