Hi,
I would like to customize the code page conversion (to/from) IBM-1097 & IBM-1098 character sets on zos v1.4 to satisfy the local character set which is totally different for persian characters from the default prepared by IBM-1097 & IBM-1098 character sets.
it seems Websphere MQ on z/OS uses language environments instead of internal tables such as windows and linux which they use some XXXXXXXX.tbl files to perform data(for character strings) conversion.
unfortunately I didn't find any usefull information on the web yet.
can anybody help me or intoduce any usefull link?
cheers |

what were you using for search terms?
start with the WebSphere MQ Library
reading thru those documents concerning installation,
i am sure you will find appropriate pointers to other manuals. |

Hi
Actually it is a few years which I am responsible for installing and customizing MQseries on OS390 & z/OS and during these years I used to study MQ manuals requrally from concepts and planning to application programming, but as I said unfortunately I haven't find any practical information for customizing a specific conversion table under mainframe MQ. Even I am reading more specific thease days MQ Manuals looking for the issue.
Anyhow I would appreciate anyone have more experince to give me a clue,so I can follow that .
regards |

within this pdf:
www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27005729&aid=1
i found this:

Where to Find the Conversion Tables
The conversion tables are in different directories, depending on the platform. In some cases,such as WebSphere MQ for iSeries, you cannot add conversion tables -- the operating system provides all of the conversion tables you’re going to get. Most of the Unix platforms provide a method for adding conversion tables; all it takes is adding the binary conversion table to acertain directory on the box. |
i know that you are talking mainframe,
but possibly the same restriction for iSeries applies for z/OS.
Also this:
publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wmqv7/v7r0/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.mq.csqzak.doc%2Ffr20890_.htm
which i assume you have found,
includes this little tidbit:
| Quote: |
| The default for data conversion is for the conversion to be performed at the target (receiving) system. |
Now, if a CODE page on the mainframe is bad/does not exist,
do the conversion where you can control it, at the server. |

The book specified under the link seems to be a good relevent topic. I am reading it specially Appendix E.
I will post the result upon successfull implemention or evevn I fail and have more question. at now it looks a good and 100% match article.

Probably you are right, MQSeries under z/OS uses os conversion tables but I haven't found any document specifically mention it.
actually it seems that code page 1097 is exist under the zos but I don't have any clue how and where to customize it possibly(because I haven't completely read it) with the link who Robert mentioned I can manage to customize an existing code page or even add new CCSID. |
