Error description

• The CHIN log has this error:
  CSQX548E CSQXRCTL Messages sent to local dead-letter queue,
  channel <channel name>,reason=2119
  .
  When you browse the message on the Dead Letter Queue ( DLQ ),
  the original message includes:
  - a queue name of SYSTEM.CLUSTER.COMMAND.QUEUE at offset x'C
  past the DLH eyecatcher.
  - a format of MQADMIN at offset x'74' past the DLH eyecatcher.
  .
  The CLUSSDR has CONVERT(YES) specified (the default is
  CONVERT(NO)).
  .
  The CHIN trace includes constants such as
    00E7001B = CSQX_ABEND_DATA_CONVERSION
    00C12005 = CSQA_PROBE_5

  ****************************************************************
  The channel initiator gets a message with the MQGMO_CONVERT
  option, requesting that the message is converted into another
  encoding and codedcharsetid. For PCF messages, the message
  contains several integer fields which are converted to the
  requested encoding, before conversion of a string field is
  required.
  If the conversion table necessary to convert the string field
  is not loaded, and PM65400(701)/PM58956(710) is applied, the
  conversion routine returns CSQA_NEED_TABLE_LOAD to the adapter,
  which loads the table and retries the conversion, however
  when retrying it uses the part converted buffer. If the
  requested encoding is little endian, the integer fields in the
  PCF header will have been byteswapped, leading to the
  conversion routine failing to validate the PCF header length
  and returning MQRC_NOT_CONVERTED (MQRC2119)
  

Problem conclusion

• CSQAVICD is changed to restore the unconverted message prior to
  returning CSQA_NEED_TABLE_LOAD, so that the unconverted message
  is used when the conversion is retried.
