I'm fairly new to MQ and would like to send images and string data from Z/OS to AIX. The string data is not a problem and very straight forward; however, I'm not sure how to send image data without having it converted.  Is there something special I must do to PUT / GET raw image data wihtout any conversion? |

Put something other than "string" in the format field of the message.

I'd suggest MQFMT_NONE and ensure the other end doesn't specify GMO_CONVERT.

It's be my choice certainly. If the format is "none", isn't the get convert automatically not done? Irrespective of the option set? I ask for clarification & confirmation.

Yes, for any type of binary data that you don't want converted, it HAS to be MQFMT_NONE. Anything else is just an accident waiting to happen.

There was a recent thread which discussed this ad nauseam. The GET CONVERT is under the control of the getting application, but if the Format is MQFMT_NONE, no conversion is done. The MQGET does return MQCC_WARNING and MQRC_FORMAT_ERROR, but the msg is returned to the application exactly as it was put.
