The default for data conversion is for the conversion to be performed at the target (receiving) system.

If the source product supports the conversion a channel can be set up and data exchanged by setting the channel attribute DataConversion to YES at the source.

Notes:
  1. Conversion for WebSphere MQ client information takes place in the server, so the server must support conversion from the client CCSID to the server CCSID.
  2. The conversion may include support added by CSD/PTF to the latest version of WebSphere MQ. Check the content of the latest service level to see if you need to install a CSD/PTF to enable this conversion.

For an extended list of CCSIDs, see the Character Data Representation Reference. See Table 91 for a cross reference between some of the CCSID numbers and some industry codeset names.
