David, When we send a request up to the mainframe with a CIH, the reply comes back with one. We need to keep the CIH because we use different CKPB tranids for different applications.
>From the sound of the other replies it looks like we might just have to roll our own. Grrrrr.

So, why do you want or need to convert an MQCIH to local encoding and character set representation on the distributed platform? Is this a broker related thing? Cheers, Dave -----Original Message----- From: MQSeries List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of John M Hammond Sent: 07 October 2003 13:32 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: MQCIH Data conversion I just discovered (to my astonishment) that IBM does not support data conversion on the MQCIH on distributed platforms. We're raising a request to get this corrected but that will clearly take time. Is anyone aware of a Vendor product that can do the necessary conversion (on Solaris specifically). I'm also looking into building my own data conversion exit, but was hoping to find something ready to go without me doing much work :-) We currently use CONVERT(YES) on our sender channels out of the mainframe, but want to move away from it.
