Re: Data conversion with MA7P using .NET application
Dan, MQ convertion works fine when done by the application, plus we have some blobs to traverse the network. Channel convertion is not an option. As far as messing with the CCSID, we're using standard NT, AIX , and MVS queue managers. The application group is converting to the .NET and we have been using the standard to convert at the receiving application without problem. This should support the standard API. glen "Capodicci, Dan (COMFIN, ITSS)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>@AKH-Wien.AC.AT> on 06/03/2003 01:08:42 PM Please respond to MQSeries List <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by:MQSeries List <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To:[EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: Subject: Re: Data conversion with MA7P using .NET application Hi Glen I can't say whether this is a bug or not (or as I like to refer to them, "undocumented enhancements") although I haven't encountered this issue in the past with VB and ActiveX apps that do pretty much the same as is being done in this .Net app. What lead me to putting the CCSID parm change in was that I was receiving a 2110 MQRC_FORMAT_ERROR on the data passing through the channels and the conversion was not taking place. My problem was from the front end up to the mainframe which is why I had the CCSID changed to 500. We have a request/reply scenario so once the requesting data got to the mainframe correctly, I had no further problems from there. I am not having a problem with the conversion on the way down but I am doing it in the channels (I now this is generally not the "preferred" method but I have found it much easier to work with this way!) The only difference that I would think between the 2 methods here is that the channel method converts it to the CCSID for the receiving qmanager, in my case 437 so I do not need to have the CCSID parm set in the return message. In your case, are you having the mainframe app set the CCSID in the MQMD?!? It sounds as though you are failing on the MQGET with convert, are you getting an error thrown, such as a 2110?!?

Hello, we are using Support pack MA7P - WebSphere MQ classes for Microsoft .NET, which allows MQ to be invoked from Microsoft .NET applications. We ran into a problem with data conversion. The data coming from mainframe going to distributed, is not being converted to ASCII. Is any one else using this support pack and can share the experience with us? Thank you.
