MQSeries.net :: View topic - problem with receiving unsign intiger into CWF

Hello,

I have a problem with receiving unsigned integer or float data into my CWF MRM msg set. I imported same test structure in both Cobol and C representation. In case of C CWF tab has defaulted 'Signed' to 'Yes' and 'Sign Orientation' to 'Not Applicable'. This means that data that is received into these fields should always contain the sign.
In case of Cobol 'Signed' fields was dependent on Cobol PIC definition.
However data that I am receiving does not contain sign when the value is positive and contain '-' when value is negative. WMQI fails during parsing with folowing msg:
"BIP5505E: Data conversion failed: data invalid. Type of data being read: packed decimal, no sign found"

How can I receive such a data into my CWF msg set?
Thank you.

Here is test C:
struct XX {
int TEST1_CNT;
double TEST2_CNT;
float TEST3_CNT;
};

and some tests i did with Cobol:
01 COBTEST1.
02 WMQI_HEADER.
03 TEST1_CNT PIC 9(4) USAGE COMP.
03 TEST2_CNT PIC S9(4) USAGE COMP.
03 TEST3_CNT PIC 9(4)V9(2) USAGE COMP.
03 TEST4_CNT PIC S9(4)V9(2) USAGE COMP.
03 TEST5_CNT PIC 9(4) USAGE COMP-3.
03 TEST6_CNT PIC S9(4) USAGE COMP-3.
03 TEST7_CNT PIC 9(4)V9(2) USAGE COMP-3.
03 TEST8_CNT PIC S9(4)V9(2) USAGE COMP-3.
