I recently found a problem quite strange. Maybe I didn't notice it before.
The MQ environment is a manager M1 on OS390 platform running v5.3.1 and the other manger M2 is on a solaris 5.8 box with MQ v5.3 csd08.
when a message is sent from M1 using the sender channel with option convert(YES) to the M2 receiver channel. I found that the charatect ! sent from OS390 one is converted to ] in Solaris box. I used the sample program amqsbcgc to browse the msg in the queue on M2.
May I know is there anything wrong? Can anyone give me some help? |

I assume this is repeatable.
What does the message look like on OS390 (codepage and such)
and what does it look like on Solaris
Is it just the one character being converted wrong?

The CCSID on 390 platform is 500.
when I browse xmitQ, the msg on it is !
after it is transmited onto the local queue on Solaris Box, the msg is ].
I haven't tested all the character yet. However, up to now, there is only one character wrong. |

| The conversion of ! from 500 -> 819 is wrong on 390. This is not a WMQ problem, because WMQ uses OS services to perform the conversion. This conversion is correctly carried out from CCSID 37 -> 819, so you can specify that your msg is in CCSID 37 and the characters will be correctly converted. |

| We have some issues with conversion (similar to above) from CCSID 1208 to 500 on z/OS - is there somewhere I can look up the actual code pages being used? |

| I think I have found the problem - the mainframe QM had a default CCSID of 500 - instead of the correct local CCSID of 285. |
