CCSID 1208 is not convertible by MQ on z/OS and other Unix based OS systems

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

We are consumer of outside inbound MQ messages that have CCSID of 1208 on z/OS. We see the messages but had to dump MQ logs in order to see the details of the CCSID setting in the MQMD. This took a lot of digging through logs for persistent messages. The remote business partner had no idea these records were being sent incorrectly. Our own application was unaware that these messages were being sent this way for many months. Is it possible for CCSID 1208 to be convertible by MQ on all OS platforms?

    Hello,

    CCSID 1208 is UTF-8 and is widely convertable. You can see the set of supported conversions here: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/ibm-mq/9.4?topic=conversion-zos-support.

    Your z/OS applications need to use MQGMO_CONVERT, with the target code page, e.g. 37, when doing an MQGET and conversion will be performed by the queue manager.

    Feel free to reach out to me at lemingma@uk.ibm.com if you want to discuss further.

    Regards, Matt.
