Re: problem send binary message nt > os/390 #2
We had a similar problem, right down to the x'7F's. It turned out that it wasn't MQSeries that was doing the translation. Instead, it was because the VB program read in the file before writing it to the queue, and the way it read it caused VB to translate the input file into 2-byte Unicode. Some of the characters in the PDF file aren't valid Windows characters, so they were instead stored in Unicode as a x'7F'. This is the kind of code they're using now to read the file: Dim nFNo As Integer Dim PdfData() As Byte nFNo = FreeFile Open "M:\TEST.PDF" For Binary Access Read As #nFNo ReDim PCLData(0 To LOF(nFNo) - 1) Get #nFNo, , PCLData Then, to put the message: For i = 0 To (LOF(nFNo) - 1) MsgO.WriteUnsignedByte (PdfData(i)) Next i OQ.Put MsgO, PMO deborah damore cc: Sent by: MQSeriesSubject: problem send binary message nt > os/390 #2 List 01/15/2003 07:37 AM Please respond to MQSeries List Heres info on my environment XP pro, mqseries client 5.1 Os/390 2.1 mqsersies 5.3 I am trying to send a pdf as the content of a mq message from NT to os/390, a os/390 process needs to pick the message up unconverted.

Re: problem send binary message nt > os/390 #2
But Deborah specifically said that the message format was set to MQFMT_NONE (well actually she said blank, but that's the same), so no conversion should apply. I suspect some form of application error reading or writing the file (e.g. file read as text rather than binary).

"...a os/390 process needs to pick the message up unconverted" Insure that the mainframe is not specifying MQGMO-CONVERT.
