Can't comment on SCSQANLx as 390 isn't my strongest platform. However, the use of a multi-byte code set as the QM's default CCSID will almost certainly cause problems as the MQ control blocks (MD etc) are fixed length and assume one byte per character. This means that you cannot use a multi-byte character set as the queue manager CCSID as this is the CCSID used for data on the message headers and other control blocks.
The conversion FAQ specifically warns against the use of UCS-2, but similar concerns apply to MBCS and DBCS. While it is possible to use UTF-8 (1208) as the QM CCSID because the characters allowed for naming MQ objects are all single byte in UTF-8, as indicated, this can cause problems when an OS/390 QM which "doesn't do Unicode" is involved in the network.
