Title: ASCII to EBCDIC conversion problem

The entire message is garbled.

And as per the programmer, the return code is zero on the MQGET call.

Probably a warning message is isuued  and that goes unnoticed?

 

And I stoped the message in the queue and the format was set to String.

What is the problem? The entire message is garbled, or just a few bytes? What is the return code on the GET call?

 

They say they set it to string, but do they? (Stop your application and look at the message while it is still on the queue)

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.
Thanks, Prince
