As a general rule do not use in channel conversion - make the application that MQGETs the message use conversion - avoids redundant conversion at the least. Also remember that only MQSTR format messages would be converted.

I have a Q mgr set up on Z/OS and one set up on Windows. I have verified that both sender channels on either side are set to data conversion yes. If I send a message from Z/OS(Via PQEDIT) to the windows side and use the rfhutil to read it from the q. It's still in EBCDIC format. If I send a message from the windows side(Via mqput2) and read it from the queue using PQEDIT the data looks like it's in ASCII format. I have been scratching my head over this all day. I made sure the sender channels are set to convert yes and I have stopped and restarted them to make sure they took. Does anyone have any idea's as to why this is occurring? I am at the 5.3 level csd 6 on windows and on z/os I am also at the 5.3 level and I thing equivalent to csd 3.
