All,

Is it possible to perform a MQGET with Convert when the message (and queue manager) has a CCSID of 1154 (Russian)?

I did a bunch of tests in Java with various releases of MQ JAR files with different JVMS (IBM and Oracle). No matter what I tried, I always got reason code of 2111 (MQRC_SOURCE_CCSID_ERROR) or an exception of java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException. I am using the international versions of the JVM with extra language and locale supports.

If I do:
Code:
MQGetMessageOptions gmo = new MQGetMessageOptions();
gmo.options = CMQC.MQGMO_BROWSE_NEXT + CMQC.MQGMO_CONVERT + CMQC.MQGMO_FAIL_IF_QUIESCING;
MQMessage getMsg = new MQMessage();
inQ.get(getMsg, gmo);

It throws an exception with reason code of 2111.

If I do:
Code:
MQGetMessageOptions gmo = new MQGetMessageOptions();
gmo.options = CMQC.MQGMO_BROWSE_NEXT + CMQC.MQGMO_FAIL_IF_QUIESCING;
MQMessage getMsg = new MQMessage();
inQ.get(getMsg, gmo);
String msg = getMsg.readStringOfByteLength(len);

The readStringOfByteLength() method throws an IOException of java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException

I even did some tests with C code performing MQGET with Convert and it got reason code of 2111 (MQRC_SOURCE_CCSID_ERROR).

So, is it possible to do an MQGET with Convert when the message has a CCSID of 1154?

1154 is an EBCDIC code page. What platform are you doing this on?

Cheers,

Yes that is true. I ran my Java and C tests from Windows PC. The person sent me a screen-shot of an ISPF MQ browse panel displaying the message after doing an MQGET with Convert and it looks like a normal XML message.

I'm just trying to figure out how to do the same thing from a remote client application.

So the queue manager you are connecting to that has a CCSID of 1154 is on z/OS and you are connecting with a client on Windows to do a get with convert from 1154 into 850 and getting the 2111 error? Am I understanding correctly?

Cheers,
Morag

Exactly.

I thought the client-side should also be able to do the MQGET with Convert if the ISPF MQ browse panel can do it.

Looking in IBM Knowledge Center on page z/OS conversion support I can see that CCSID 1154 converts to and from the following list of CCSIDs:-

808, 849, 858-859, 867, 872, 923-924, 1140-1149, 1153, 1155-1157, 1160-1162, 1200, 1208, 5347, 5348, 13488, 17584

850 is not in that list. Suggest you try one of the ones in the above list for your client instead of 850? For example 1200 and 1208 are there which are often used in Java applications I think?

Alternatively, code page 858 (which is in the list) is almost identical to 850. According to wikipedia:-

Wikipedia wrote:
Code page 858 was created from code page 850 in 1998 by changing code point 213 (D5hex) from dotless i to the euro sign.
