Hello,
I have messages in a queue with Special Characters (such as alt 144 = É)
and when these characters are transfered in a File , i cannot read their correct signification.
Our Ccsid is 1051 (for all Queue Manager) and when the messages are in the Queue thre are coding with a ccsid 850 (with IBM mo71).
So I'm trying some tests with the MA01 program Q. I want to test if i can transfert the messages in a file with a ccsid conversion, with the command:
for example on HP Unix:
./q -c:1089 -mEH020041 -iEH0.MRS.1.PLUS.MRS.03 > toto.txt
So but it seems not to work properly.
So can you help me for that problem.
Thanks bye. |

Conversion relies on doing a GET with CONVERT set (recommended) or having CONVERT set on the channel (not recommended at all). It also relies on the MQMD describing the data as string.
So the question comes, do you believe all these criteria have been met in the example you've tried?

Hello,
thanks for your answer,
yes all these criterias are OK (String...).
Do you have another idea for the command :
./q -c41b -mEH020041 -iEH0.MRS.1.PLUS.MRS.03 > toto.txt
Thanks. |

Well this time you've correctly specified the CCSID in hex not decimal, but there seems to be a ":" missing...

Hello,
it's right in the Q documentation it is in Hex but it seems not working on our HP Unix.
when I run the command with -c819 I can read the same form of characters as they are in my queue. For example ||| (browse queue with mo71) but real there is ÉÉÉ in the queue.
Could anyone help me about that Q command (exactly syntax), and explain me how to make those conversions.
Perhaps there is a documentation that can explain this problem.
Thanks, bye |

Erm, slightly obvious here but you do know the "q command" isn't an MQ command but the MA01 Support Pack? Which has command syntax documents included in the download?
I mention it only because I've been asked on a couple of occassion why "qload" isn't in the System Administration Manual...

I would not trust the browse with MO71 unless you see the message in Hex as well and the Hex char corresponds.
We had the case with a message in ccsid 1208 and some specific chars like trade mark bullet points etc... In MO71 they did not display correctly. In JMS (did a browse) they displayed just fine...
Enjoy

Hello,
thanks for the answer.
Where can I find a free download of only hte Browse of JMS.
But it's for me only to see the right Characters, but when I need to use these Characters for my application, that one doesn't understand that specials characters because the amqsgetc doesn't work for special characters.
could you help me , thanks. |

There's nothing wrong with amqsgetc, but with the ccsid of your display environment. That is what affects the displayed character set.
