I dimmly remember MQ on z/os doesn't support "receiver gets it right", I
could be wrong. But, if that's the case, you'll need to set your NT
sending MCA definition to convert=yes.

Thanks for your reply. I am not using ACTIVE X i AM USING Power Builder
compiling C code. Iam thinking may be is the MQ library that I am using. I
use
MQIC32.LIB and maybe I should use MQM.LIB. How ever when we use MQM.LIB we
get connection problem with MQCONN.

I don't know why your message is not getting converted. CP437 is US ASCII,
which would be the code page of your PC. Are you certain that you are
attempting to convert the incoming message. It may be that you should
create the original message in CodePage 500 (International EBCDIC). The MQ
Automation Classes for ActiveX provide methods for performing this
conversion on message data as it is created or retrieved.
The correct settings for the MQMD.Format and MQCIH.Format depends upon
whether you are trying to drive the 3270 bridge or the DPL bridge.
Possible
values for the MQCIH.Format would be CSQCBDCI to drive conversion of 3270
map data, or MQSTR for character only DPL data.
I haven't tried any of the conversion options with the CICS bridge.

Thank you so much for your reply,
I do exactly what you are saying regarding the mqmd, mqcih format.
But it is not converting. I am not sure I might have to apply the PTF
UQ76248, UQ76249.
Any ideas ?

Hello,
MQSeries does not in general support conversion of CICS bridge
datastreams,
although conversion is possible in some specific instances.
Look at the WebSphere MQ Application Programming Guide, Chapter 17, Under
heading Programming for the Distributed Environment.
It basically says that you need to ensure that your message is already in
the correct CCSID for CICS (which in your case seems to be CCSID 500). If
your message data is pure text, then you can achieve conversion by
specifying a MQCIH.Format of MQString. Otherwise, you need to build the
data stream in EBCDIC and/or mainframe binary data formats, and correctly
set the Format and CCSID fields in the headers.
The actual text from the manual is:
============================================================================================
Programming for th e distributed environment
CICS DPL programs and transactions can be driven through the CICS bridge
when the client application resides on a workstation.
The main consideration when programming for the distributed environment is
data conversion between the different encoding schemes and CCSID values of
the workstation and z/OS. Conversion is carried out by two different
routines, one for the MQCIH structure and another for the vector.
You can ensure that conversion of the MQCIH is achieved by specifying
MQFMT_CICS in the MQMD.Format field. Vector conversion, however, requires
a
little more consideration.
CICS transactions in the distributed environment
Conversion is only supported by the CICS bridge for the outbound SEND MAP
and RECEIVE MAP request vectors, and for the inbound RECEIVE MAP vector.
To achieve conversion of the SEND MAP and RECEIVE MAP vectors, do this:
Make sure that you ass emble your maps specifying DSECT=ADSDL in your
DFHMSD macro. Your map must be assembled under CICS Transaction
Server for OS/390 Version 1.2 or greater for the ADSD or ADSDL to be
made available. If you do not have the original mapset definition,
recreate the map using the CICS DFHBMSUP utility.
Specify a value of MQCADSD_SEND+MQCADSD_MSGFORMAT in field
MQCIH.ADSDescriptor. If you are using an ADSD or ADSDL to build your
RECEIVE MAP ADS, you must also add in the value MQCADSD_RECV for this
field.
Specify a value of CSQCBDCI in field MQCIH.Format on every inbound
message.
If you want to use vectors other than SEND MAP and RECEIVE MAP to drive
transactions in the distributed environment, you must either write your
own
data conversion routines or create and interpret the data streams in the
format required by z/OS.
The MQCIH.Format is always set to CSQCBDCO in outbound messages. If you
want to specify another format type for outbound conversion, you must
intercept the message by writing to a local reply queue. Change the value
of MQCIH.Format to specify your own routine before sending it on to the
remote environment.
No support is provided for conversion between workstation and mainframe
formats of vectors other than SEND MAP (outbound) and RECEIVE MAP (both
inbound and outbound).
CICS DPL programs in the distributed environment
If you are driving a DPL program that neither receives nor returns
COMMAREA
data, or if the COMMAREA data is purely character data, you can achieve
data conversion by specifying MQFMT_STRING in field MQCIH.Format. If your
COMMAREA data is not purely character data, you must write your own
conversion routine.

Hello all,
I need help,
A C client program sends a meesage to WMQ v 5.3 in Z/os triggering CICS
BRIDGE CKBR transaction. When the messag gets off of the queue I recieve
the following message in the cics log. Can any body help me and tell me
wha t I need to do .
I truly appriciate your help.
