Jose, glad to hear it works now. It's kind of strange though, because MQCCSI-Q-MGR is the default value for MQMD-CODEDCHARSETID, if you use the copy book CMQMDV to initialize your message descriptor structure before doing the MQGET. Anyways, it works now... ;-) Stefan

The conversion problem resolved by moving the MQCCSI-Q-MGR to MQMD-CODEDCHARSETID. The encoding was already set to MQENC-NATIVE. Thank you for all the suggestions/comments/help. Thanks, Prince

here are a couple of options you might play with
MOVE MQCCSI-Q-MGR TO MQMD-CODEDCHARSETID. MOVE MQENC-NATIVE TO MQMD-ENCODING.

I stopped the message in the queue as it arrived and looked at the CCSID of the message. It was 819. Our mainframe qmgr's CCSID is 37. Thanks,

We had a similar situation, and on the distributed platform the application was setting the CCSID to 500, which is what we use on the mainframe. You might want to check to see what the incoming CCSID is to see if a conversion is taking place.

Please respond to MQSeries List
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
