We use CCSID 500 on OS/390 side and 437 on NT side. Both run MQ v5.2 with the lates CSD applied. When converting data from EBCDIC to ASCII we found "!" converted to "[", and "]" - to "|". Does sombody knows what to do?

Are saying on the mainframe you see the characters [ ] ??? Because from my MVS Days they didnt support the those characters.

I advice you to get a table of codepage 500 and 437. At codepage 500 "[" should be 0x4A and "]" should be 0x5A.

Send a message with your /390 application to a local queue on your /390. Browse your message with a hex editor.

Is the characters hex code different between the codepage used by your /390 queue manager (CCSID 500) and your /390 application? If so, you have to set your CCSID inside your mqput to the codepage used by your application.

If the characters hex codes are the same then send your message to your NT system. Browse your message with amqsbcg. Your "[" sign should be converted to 0x5B (defined by 01F401B5.tbl).

Be sure that your Format was set to MQFMT_STRING!

I hope this helps

Ilya,
I would suggest you change your mainframe queue manager to a code page that contains those 'special' characters, for example 37.
Cheers,
Stefan
