I've found that for messages generated from the distributed platforms destined for the mainframe platforms (OS/390 WMQ v5.3) the format must be null in order for the GMO convert to function correctly. I believe the IBM documentation suggests otherwise.
Jason >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 7/23/2003 4:35:50 PM >>> I know this issue has been discussed many times here. And I have looked all the archives and gone through the white paper, MQSeries and Conversion. So please excuse me for asking. But when one of our application in mainframe receives messages from a distributed platform, the conversion is not taking place. The distributed platform is outside our firewall. So we do not have any control on that application. But they confirmed that the message descriptor format filed on their MQPUT is set to MQFMT_STRING. Our side in mainframe, MQGMO_CONVERT is specified during MQGET in the program. Also during the MQGET, our programmers set the Format to MQFMT-STRING and the Encoding to MQENC-NATIVE Any ideas what can be wrong? MQ(5.2 on Os390) version 5 on distributed platform.
