Has anyone recompiled a VB app that uses the MQCI_NEW_SESSION value, with MQ release 5.3 ??
I think the VB module cmqb.bas supplied with MQ has changed between 5.2 and 5.3; I can't get VB apps to compile when referencing certain variables. I've tried a few things to get around the compile errors and I get run time errors. The variables are those that are byte arrays.. MQCI_NEW_SESSION is one. It used to be defined as PUBLIC MQCI_NEW_SESSION As String * 24, and then in the SET_MQDEFAULTS routine, it was set = to a hardcoded string value. In the v5.3 version, it is defined as PUBLIC MQCI_NEW_SESSION As MQBYTE24, which is a user defined type, defined as MQBYTE(0 to 23). The MQQCI_MEW_SESSION is set, in the MQ_SETDEFAULTS, byte by byte to the hardcoded string value. When I try to use that in my code, ex: oMQMsg.CorrelationID = MQCI_NEW_SESSION I get the following error: Compile Error: Only user-defined types defined in public object modules can be coerced to or from a variant or passed to late-bound functions. When I explicitly extract every byte from MQCI_NEW_SESSION, and string them into a new string variable and assign that, ex: s1 = "" For i1 = 0 to 23 s1 = s1 & MQCI_NEW_SESSION.MQBYTE(i1) Next oMQMsg.CorrelationID = s1 it compiles ok but I get a runtime error Run-time error '32000' MQAX200.MQMessage::SetCorrelationID CompletionCode = 2, ReasonCode = 6111, ReasonName = MQRC_BINARY_DATA_LENGTH_ERROR. I don't understand the length error.. the field is defined as an array of 24 bytes, and thats how many times I append to the string. I've preset it to null, so there are not any extra characters.. I've called the MQ_SETDEFAULTS routine first..
