Data types of the fields in the IBM MQ headers
The fields in the IBM® MQ headers have specific data types. Parsers are supplied for the headers included in IBM MQ messages.
The parsers determine the data type of each field in the
header:
- The MQCFH parser
- The MQCIH parser
- The MQDLH parser
- The MQIIH parser
- The MQMD parser
- The MQMDE parser
- The MQRFH parser
- The MQRFH2 and MQRFH2C parsers
- The MQRMH parser
- The MQSAPH parser
- The MQWIH parser
- The SMQ_BMH parser
The mapping of the IBM MQ data types to the data types used in the integration node is shown in the following table.
| Data type of the field | Represented as |
|---|---|
| MQLONG | INTEGER |
| MQCHAR, MQCHAR4 | CHARACTER |
| MQBYTE, MQBYTEn | BLOB |
