Error description
Messages sent by a z/OS queue manager in CCSID 1147 contains the EBCDIC New Line character x'15'. When an MQGET is attempted on that message with convert option on a windows queue manager in CCSID 819, the conversion of the New Line character is different between MQ V7.0.1 and V7.1 / V7.5. Following table summarizes the behavior seen NL char MQ 7.0.1 MQ 7.1 / 7.5 EBCDIC ASCII ASCII converted to converted to x'15' x'85 x'0A' On the server queue manager on Windows, ConvEBCDICNewline=TABLE is used.
Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** USERS AFFECTED: Users of MQ version 7.1 and 7.5 setting the value ConvEBCDICNewline=TABLE Platforms affected: Windows **************************************************************** PROBLEM SUMMARY: The newline character was not being converted according to the conversion tables although the value of ConvEBCDICNewline was set to TABLE on the windows queue manager. This was causing the new line character to be converted into a different ASCII value on 7.1/7.5.
Problem conclusion
In the WebSphere MQ code the value of the attribute ConvEBCDICNewline was not read properly due to which the code was traversing a different path and hence the conversion was not taking place correctly. The fix ensures that the value of the attribute is read properly and the conversion of the newline character happens according to the values in the conversion tables. --------------------------------------------------------------- The fix is targeted for delivery in the following PTFs: v7.1 Platform Fix Pack 7.1.0.4 -------- -------------------- Windows 7.1.0.4 Platform v7.5 -------- -------------------- Multiplatforms 7.5.0.3 The latest available maintenance can be obtained from 'WebSphere MQ Recommended Fixes' http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=171&uid=swg27006037 If the maintenance level is not yet available information on its planned availability can be found in 'WebSphere MQ Planned Maintenance Release Dates' http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=171&uid=swg27006309 ---------------------------------------------------------------
