Thanks for the reply. I have checked that the NT side of the Qmanager has CCSID of 437. I changed the CCSID on the mainframe side from 500 to 37. When I wrote data from the mainframe side to NT and read it from the NT queue the data was not translated. A hex dump of the data showed that it was still in EBCDIC. I had to change the mainframe qmanager back to CCSID 500. After going back I tried the same test and this time it converted the data from EBCDIC to ASCII after doing the read on the NT box. I still have the problem of ! [ ] | coming from the manframe does not convert correctly to ascii. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,

CCSID 500 are the Western European EBCDIC, 37 are the US EBCDIC. The built-in conversions works for both CCSIDs, if your queue manager on NT side works with 437 or 850 or 1252. The conversion will be better if you configure 500 on mainframe and 1252 on NT side, or 37 with 437.

Re: CCSID problems





I have a big problem now. I changed the CCSID on the MVS side to 37. Now
when I send the data to the NT box and read it from the QUEUE the data does
not convert to ASCII. It used to convert when the CCSID was 500. I'm stumped
and in trouble. Any ideas?

You don't need to recreate the qmgr, but you do need to stop the qmgr and
change your system parameter and restart the qmgr.  The process is described
in the System Setup Guide under "customizing your qmgr".  I think it's the
CSQ6SYSP macro that has the CCSID, but I haven't actually done this myself.

You probably have the OS390 CCSID set to 500 when it should be 37.

Subject: CCSID problems

Hello everyone. I am having a small problem. We are sending messages from an
OS/390 mainframe to an NT MQseries box. The mainframe version of MQ is 5.3.
The NT version is 5.2.1 with the latest csd. The messages we sometimes send
from the mainframe have special characters such as an ! exclamation point or
a [ right bracket , a ] bracket or the | pipe character. These do not seem
to be translated correctly on the ascii NT side. Is there anyway that I can
get MQ to do the conversion to the correct character when the read is done?
Any help appreciated.
