Subject: Re: MQ IMS Bridge questionPeter,Both settings in the format field allow for data conversion. You should be fine! The toughest part is making sure you count your bytes correctly for the IIH if you use it. I recommend testing without it first to make sure you've got everything configured properly. Also try leaving security off if you can (issue /SEC OTMA NONE in IMS).Good Luck!-----Original Message-----

Subject: MQ IMS Bridge question
Hi,
Just having a play with this for the first time from the MQ side.
I have a simple client app running on Windows that connects to a z/OS queue manager which owns the bridge queue.
If I create & send a message in MQFMT_IMS_VAR_STRING format I believe I do not need an IIH and ASCII/EBCDIC conversion will take place happily assuming I have everything else correct. True ?
If I create & send a message in MQFMT_IMS format and provide a IIH then how does the conversion happen as the manual states it doesn't. There are CCSID & Encoding fields in the IIH but the manual states these are of no use (!). Do I need to use a data conversion exit if I want to use MQFMT_IMS ?
Any assistance much appreciated and a merry Christmas to you all!
Thanks,
Pete
