We are testing the connection of our MQSeries OS/390 V2R1 with a
MQSeries Windows client V5.2.
When converting data from EBCDIC to ASCII we found that EBCDIC
character NL (x'15') is converted to ASCII character + (decimal 43,
hex 2B).
We are using CCSID 500 in OS/390 and CCSID 850 in Windows client
environment.
We found in some documentation that NL in EBCDIC is converted as ASCII
line feed (hex 0A) since V5.1 depending of the value specified in the
MQS.INI file.
Any help will be appreciated.

Well I looked up the CCSID for NT they have 3 listed, the only one we have ever used is the 437 and we dont seem to have your issue, you can issue alt qmgr
CCSID command and change it, if you want to try it.

Thanks.
I have read this document and I found very useful.
I found in another part of the same document

http://www-4.ibm.com/software/ts/mqseries/support/faqs/conver09.html

and I expected NL to be converted as ASCII LF x'0A' but for some
reason I got something different.

Okay,
I changed the message from your MQM root on the client
check convtable for a file readme.ccs (contains what files are required for conversion)
plus all the *.tbl files (they contain the values for each CCSID)

more info the conversion from 437 to 500
appears the 01f401b5.tbl file doesnt appear to be in the default client install, however
on a full NT Qmanager install the file is present.
