Requests

Each MQSeries request consists of a single message containing a character string. This string encodes all request parameters and may use any code page for which MQSeries for NT supports conversion to Unicode (ITP/DS uses Unicode internally). This usually means that the local code page of the sending application can be used. The only requirements are:

• The CodedCharSetId attribute in the MQSeries message descriptor must be set to the used code page. If the local code page is used the default MQSeries descriptor settings will automatically indicate the correct code page.
• The Format attribute in the MQSeries message descriptor must be set to MQFMT_STRING, in order to enable automatic conversion of the request string by MQSeries.
