Don't know if this helps, but I had to implement CCSID 1047 in order to get some special characters to convert correctly. As not to affect the entire LPAR, I implemented this at the application level by setting the MQMD-CODEDCHARSETID of each message prior to the PUT. That solved our problem.
We have some unique applications that run and I did not want to risk breaking them by making the change at the Q-manager level.

I have seen this issue raised multiple times by application developers but I have never made any changes to the WMQ CCSID and I have never seen this issue actually occur. Most z/OS systems in the U.S. have a CCSID of 37 and the default WMQ Queue Manager CCSID is 500. In order to actually have a problem, the message data would have to be encoded in CCSID 37 AND the MQMD would have to have a value of 500. Has anyone demonstrated this? I would be very interested to hear the results.

Also lok at your TSO settings, I would not be surprised if it is not running under 37 tooooooooo. bobbee >From: Dean Montevago <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: MQSeries List <[email protected]> >To: [email protected] >Subject: MQ CCSID >Date: Tue, 1 Mar 2005 14:44:32 -0500 > >Hi, > >We're using the default of 500 for our Qmgr's.
