WebSphere MQ V5.3, or later, supports phase one of the Chinese GB18030 standard.
On z/OS, Linux, Windows, and Solaris, conversion support
is provided between Unicode (UTF-8 and UCS-2) and CCSID 1388 (EBCDIC with
GB18030 extensions), Unicode (UTF-8 and UCS-2) and CCSID 5488 (GB18030 phase
one), and between CCSID 1388 and CCSID 5488.
Note:
For MQSeries(R) on AIX V5.1
only, the appropriate GB18030 PTF must be installed.
On AIX V4.3.3 there is no operating system support for GB18030. On AIX V5.1, APAR IY26937
provides support for conversion between GB18030 (CCSID 5488) and Unicode.
On OS/400, support is provided by the operating system for conversion between
Unicode (UTF-8 and UCS-2) and CCSID 1388 (EBCDIC with GB18030 extensions).
On HP-UX there is currently no support available on the HP11 operating
system for GB18030. On HP11i, patch PHCO_26456 provides conversion support
between GB18030 (CCSID 5488) and Unicode. Support is not provided for the
conversion between GB18030 and 1388 (EBCDIC).
