We are finding reasons to upgrade to CSD11 and one of them is APAR below (from CSD10):
http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?&apar=only&uid=swg1IC43915

But a Developer in my department tested IBM's MQ .NET class and is saying the following:
"But it appears the MQ Readstring() function is still returning a string that has a different asc value for the special characters that were sent in.

When I pass in a message into MQ and read it out using the MQ .NET class's, I do not get the same character that was passed into MQ. Below is an example of the hex values sent in and returned.
NOTE, this does not happen when reading the data from the API Exerciser. Just when accessing it from the MQ .NET class's.

Input: E2
ReadString() returns 47
"
One example which we hope that the APAR will resolve is:
Input to MP Queue:
<Address city="Mi‘ami" country="USA" postalCode="91100" state="CA" street1="211 Ma“in Street"/>

But Output to webpage after msg has been processed using application using MQ .NET:
<Address city="Mi?ami" country="USA" postalCode="91100" state="CA" street1="211 Ma?in Street"/>
We want the output to remain as original message.

Is there code or program to use the MQ .NET class to confirm what the developer is saying? Thanks.

Is your message format MQSTR ?
Do you use the convert option on your GET ?
Are you using the same code page CCSID on the machine doing the Get as on the machine doing the PUT ?

Have you tried using UTF-8 instead of String ??

Enjoy

machine with CCSID437

Have you tried using UTF-8 instead of String ?? How would I do this? Do you have an example? Thank you


Enjoy
