Jeff, I believe that you have to check the hex format of the data when it's defined as BLOB. For example you would check for X'3132333435363738' for '12345678'.

I cannot seem to figure out how to read in the messages without having a specific well-defined format. I tried setting the message up to be read as a BLOB but then cannot figure out how to access the data. I would like to do a simple: SUBSTRING ("BODY" FROM 1 FOR 8) = "SUSTHIST" in a filter node to check for a particular message and send to a destination queue. The "BODY" evaluates to NULL when I do a trace so the substring fails and send the message out the UNKNOWN exit. Any ideas? Long run it would help to implement a different format for each message and use RFH2 headers but that is not an option at this time.
