Re: XML blob as MQ Message
In addition to what was already said: If you traverse unlike platforms (ie. from UNIX to Mainframe) and need character set conversion you will have no other option than to convert the binary content into a character representation. Otherwise either your XML tags will not be converted or your binary content will not be the same after MQ tried to convert it. Putting it at the tail end of a message won't help here since MQ converts all or nothing if you don't want to write your own data conversion exit (and I think you don't want that ;-)...). Have you thought about putting the binary content and the XML in separate messages and just reference the binary message from within the XML? It might be a bit more programming, but if message size and performance are an issue that might be an alternative worth thinking about. You could put the binary message first and put the messageId returned by MQ into your XML message. The receiving end would get the XML message first and then do a qualified MQGET on the binary message queue using the messageID from the XML. You will probably have to base64 encode the messageID, too, but that's only 24 Bytes instead of how many? Maybe it doesn't fit your application model, but I thought I spit it out anyways.

Re: S/390 MQS V2.1 to V5.3
New headers Version 2 in OS/390. Get with message-Id and Correl-ID full functionality in OS/390. QManager DB2 dependant. All existing apps supous to run ok. (QManager 5.2 accepts headers from previos versions). May be is good to check versions & compatibility of DB2 and CICS/ESA or TS, version of COBOL/COPYS, actual triggers, channel inventory. We going on the same path at May.

Re: XML blob as MQ Message
The only thing I want to add is: size. base64 is good. However, it will generate text 1/3 larger than the original binary. There are other scheme to make it compacted. If you want to get into more, pls send me an email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks.

Re: messages out of order
If message sequence is absolutely critical then we are not really talking about messages are we... we are talking about records .. in a file. So why not just file transfer the stuff. Easy. We've been doing it for years and we never get records out of sequence. And if MQ's assured delivery is important then there are file transfer products around that use MQ as the transport protocol. Take a look at CommerceQuest's Data Integrator for example. mqm --- Robert Broderick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > See that's what I like about management.
