Hi;

The problem I'm having is when data is sent from our WBI brokers on Solaris to the As400, we are automatically seeing a CCSID conversion. To test this, I shut the channel down and viewd the msg in the xmit q. There it had a CCSID of 437. With no CONVERSION on either MCA and no channel EXITS's etc it was 37 in the AS400.

The problem were having is when we do a MQGET using MQC.MQGMO_CONVERT the data is all garbled but when we dont use this gmo option it looks fine. So there appears to be a double-cnversion.

Question: Why is there (it appears) an automatic conversion between the two MCA'a and Secondly, if the CCSID at the time of the GET is already its native CCSID should the MQC.MQGMO_CONVERT make a difference.

Anybody's insight into this would be much appreciated.

You have the convert option turned on on the channel. Turn it off. This is far from the preferred way of handling conversion.

The getting app on the AS400 should be doing a get with convert.

Peter, I really dont. The Data Convert Option on the sender channel is OFF and no channel EXIT on the reciever.

I agree, the receiving app should be doing the CONVERT but when we do the data comes in garbled.

Other ideas?

1 : dis channel (SACSUN7.TOR530d01)

The data might really get sent in ccsid 37
This depends on the setup of the messages and jndi.
You can entice a qmgr to put all msgs on a queue in a specific ccsid. (see one of my previous posts)

You might not see that right away as the xmitq header might obfuscate this.

Enjoy
