I was looking in my version 6 windows MQ directory and I couldn't find a conversion table that has 1208 in it, or the its hex value of 4b8.
Shouldn't it be there somewhere?
What am I missing?
Thanks,
Gary |

Look in ccsid.tbl. It shows that the base CCSID for 1208 is 13488:
| Code: |
1208 13488 0 13488 3 5 0 UTF-8
|
This means that the tables for 1208 use the same tables as 13488, with 34B0 in the table name. |

Thanks, that is what I was looking for.
I asked because I have an application that says they are setting 1208 as the ccsid in the PUTting application, but it is failing saying that is an invalid CCSID. I'm guessing they are not setting something correctly.
I told them to set the CCSID to 1208 because originally they are putting a message with some french characters. ie. an E with a forward leaning accent. When the receiving app gets it, it got converted to two characters.
So I said to set the CCSID of the MQMD on the putting side to 1208. Put the message, then on the receiving side to a get with convert.
They are putting to a windows queue manager with a FUSION client running on either unix or linux.
Did I tell them the correct thing to do?
Also one other question, for a windows client if I say
SET MQCCSID=1208 in the environment variables, does this actually say to do the conversion to unicode, or does it just tell the queue manager the messages will be in unicode?
Thanks a bunch!!

Data conversion may be requested either by
1) the consuming application specifying MQGET with MQGMO_CONVERT - the IBM recommended method; or
2) the sending channel specifying CONVERT(YES)
Data conversion may occur based on Encoding, CodedCharSetId, and Format fields of the MQMD. This is all well documented in the APR and APG manuals.
