My java program is returning different results to amqsbcg for the same message on a queue.

To display the contents of the message, I am using the following:

msgString = message.readString(message.getDataLength());

The output of the message differs from that produced by amqsbcg for higher value characters. For example, amqsbcg returns DC3b where my program returns 25843b. My program is using Integer.toHexString to get these values.

The manual states that readString "reads a string in the codeset identified by the characterSet member variable, and convert it into Unicode."

It also states:

"The coded character set identifier of character data in the application message data. The behavior of the readString, readLine, and writeString methods is altered accordingly. The default value for this field is MQC.MQCCSI_Q_MGR."

Doesn't amqsbcg use the same logic to determine the CCSID? If this was the case, I'd expect amqsbcg and the Java program to be returning the same values.

Any suggestions would be very helpful.

Thanks,

Tim
