Rommel, open the queue with MQOO_BROWSE and issue an MQGET with MQGMO_BROWSE, the investigate the message descriptor or payload. Depending on the result, do a destructive MQGET with the msgId returned from the browse (and be prepared to handle the fact that the message might have been removed by another application while you were checking for binary/ascii). How would you test for binary/ASCII though? The better approach would be for the sending application to a) set MQFMT_NONE for binary messages and b) MQFMT_STRING for text messages and do the convert in any case (there will be no conversion for MQFMT_NONE, so you're safe). Or, since it looks like two completely different message formats to me, have them put to two different queues, if you can. HTH, Stefan

Hello all,
Is there a way to determine if the message in a queue is ascii or binary before you do an MQGET on it ? The reason is that if the message is ascii then we would like to specify the MQGMO_CONVERT when we do the MQGET.
Thanks Rommel
