The length of the standard SMF header is 18 bytes (X'12') so a value of X'0B' looks wrong to me.
Note that certain DB2 SMF records (and therefore it could include MQ) sometimes use a "blob" style triplet descriptor when the data pointed to by the triplet contains a variable amount of data which is subdivided into smaller structures - so seeing lengths of X'01' or 'X00' is not always indicative of a problem in that case.
