This is correct, if "your" EBCDIC is CCSID500. See the following char table of CodePage500. x'4F' means exclamation mark. On the other hand, in the EBCDIC CCSID924(=CodePage924), x'5A' means exclamation mark. http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/software/globalization/pdf/cp00500z.pdf http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/software/globalization/pdf/cp00924z.pdf 500 and 924 are mere examples. There are some variations (or dialects?) of EBCDIC. Check your appropriate CCSID.

Conversion is requested of the qmgr by the application on the MQGET. The data is converted, except for one problem. An exclamation point, ASCII x'21', is converted to a vertical bar, EBCDIC x'4F'. Shouldn't it instead convert to EBCDIC x'5A'? While Appendix H of MQ's Application Programmer's Reference identifies the supported CCSID's, it doesn't show a character-by-character mapping. Is such a mapping available somewhere? If the ASCI x'21' to EBCDIC x'4F' is "correct", must I resort to a data conversion exit to solve my problem?
