Hi All,

I thought this was set automatically, unless you want to overwrite it with specific values...
AS/400 is EBCDIC, Windows is ASCII so convertsion will be done when the message is 'gotten' on the Windows side.

set the MQMD format to string and use get on convert when getting the data on the as/400, if you are not using any 'special' characters you should be fine.

What if I dont set MQMD.format to string?
Will AS/400 accept my messages?
The message is alphanumeric,no spl characters.
Thanx

Then MQ won't know that the data is String data, and won't know how to convert the characters.
